It’s time to discover the landscapes, sites, tastes and experiences that have created our unrivalled food heritage

Berwick is England’s most northerly town, but over the centuries it has been fought over and changed hands between the Scots and the English at least 13 times.  

Today, the peaceful and unspoiled landscapes and heritage coastline around Berwick produce a wide variety of food and drink ranging from crabs, lobsters and oysters to artisan breads baked in a wood-fired oven, farmhouse cheeses and ice-cream to honey from hives set in the fields and hills on either side of the Anglo-Scottish Border.

The town is full of reminders of its food-producing heritage - old salmon fishing shiels and ice-houses, herring yards and smokehouses, breweries, granaries and maltings. Within a 30 minute drive you will find picturesque fishing harbours and Northumberland’s only working water-powered corn-mill.  

Explore these pages and find out about the food and drink produced within 25 km of the mouth of the River Tweed at Berwick, today and in the past.
