About

Berwick-upon-Tweed West encompasses the historic town's urban core, defined by its Elizabethan ramparts overlooking the River Tweed. This area functions as a working market centre with a distinct architectural character, seen in its Georgian buildings and medieval bridge. The surrounding rural ward includes agricultural land and the coastal fringe leading towards the iconic Royal Border Bridge, a key railway viaduct.
