River Tweed at Berwick

A very foggy Berwick

Tuesday 3rd November 2015

Long time without a post. I have been 'up north'. We drove up to Berwick-Upon-Tweed and had a walk around the Elizabethan walls in thick fog! Berwick has had a very chequered history being either in England or Scotland on a number of occasions. The River Tweed divides Berwick on the north bank (in the picture) from Tweedmouth on the south bank. The bridge in the background was built in the early 17th Century to connect the two and was the 'Great North Road'. Normally visible beyond, are the Royal Tweed bridge built 1928 for the motor car era and the beautiful 'Royal Border Bridge' carrying the East Coast railway line.
