Weary walkers at Berwick

Karran from Cumbria took The Long Walk to explore Berwick’s ramparts and Hazzer drew it for us. (We think it must have been very hard work!)

Seaside memories at Berwick and Tweedmouth

Another contributor remembers having had ‘many fun days at the beach’ here. We all like to be beside the seaside, don’t we?

Family trips to Tweedmouth

My granny lives here and she is from Summerset [Somerset].

Images: Hazzer did a drawing of The Long Walk around Berwick ramparts and Jett did some lovely colouring in. Lots of people added their stories to the River Tweed map on the day.

These stories and pictures were collected at a Tweed Stories event held as part of Berwick Heritage Open Days (www.berwickhods.org.uk) in September 2026. With thanks to the HODs team and everyone who attended. Find out more about Berwick’s history at www.berwickfriends.org.uk and northumberlandarchives.com/berwick/.
