Heading north, you can explore the historic fishing town of Eyemouth (2.5 miles) which is home to a working harbour, the Museum at Gunsgreen House which tells the tale of 19th-century smuggling, and the Eyemouth Museum which commemorates the devastating storm of 1881.

Crossing the border, Berwick-upon-Tweed has a rich heritage, with attractions including the Berwick Barracks and The Main Guard, the drunk’s cell in Berwick Town Hall, and the great Elizabethan Walls. There are also some delightful beaches at Eyemouth, St Abbs and Coldingham Bay (6.5 miles).
