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.

The Holy Island area is defined by Lindisfarne, a tidal island accessible only via a causeway at low tide. Its landscape is dominated by the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory and a later castle perched on a volcanic outcrop. The island's economy is closely tied to tourism, pilgrimage, and small-scale fishing, with the entire community governed by the daily rhythm of the tides.
