The walk along the estuary is amazing enough, this small museum is fascinating. What an interesting place, what a history!!

An interesting three hours spent here - 2 military museums and one more 'interactive' part on Berwick for younger visitors. Less than £4 entrance fee and toilets. No cafe facilities.

Berwick itselfis in need of a little more civic pride. Some of its beautiful Georgian buildings need to be better preserved. The walls, however are stunning and well worth a visit. We needed to ask someone how to get up to the walls as access isn't obvious.

It was sad this was pretty well closed until Easter - we had fabulous weather when we were in Berwick and met lots of people also on an early holiday who commented on the lack of interesting places open (until Easter) come on Berwick wake up - the place was full of people like us

The Barracks are a real surprise. Loads to see and really interesting history. You do not need to be interested in military history as the whole social life of the time is addressed.
