Berwickshire offers an exceptional mix of coastal scenery, historic landmarks and outdoor activities, with attractions spread across its villages and surrounding countryside. The Berwickshire Coastal Path runs along dramatic clifftops with far-reaching sea views, linking a series of coves, beaches and small fishing communities. St Abbs Head National Nature Reserve is a major highlight, known for its striking landscape, internationally important seabird colonies and access to the wider marine reserve.
Along the coast, Coldingham Sands provides opportunities for swimming, surfing and kayaking, while boat trips from St Abbs or Eyemouth offer a chance to explore the marine reserve and, at times, spot seals, porpoises and the recently frequenting dolphins along this stretch of coastline. The area also includes renowned geological sites such as Siccar Point, celebrated for its connection to James Hutton and the development of modern geology.
Berwickshire’s inland heritage is equally strong, with sites including Paxton House with its galleries and riverside grounds, the Italian-style fort remains at Eyemouth, and the historic Coldingham Priory. The Union Chain Bridge, recently restored, provides a unique crossing point between Scotland and England and offers scenic walks along the River Tweed. Smaller landmarks, such as the Norman arch at Edrom or the coastal ruins of Fast Castle, add further interest for those exploring the area.
