Area insights


Flat 5,3 Quay Walls lies on the famous Elizabethan walls in Berwick-Upon-Tweed with easy and direct access to the town centre. The property sits close to the historic Berwick Barracks and access to stunning coastal walking routes around the town.

Berwick-upon-Tweed is famous for its stunning architecture, has a wide selection of amenities and is well serviced with local and national shops, five national supermarkets and schooling for all ages including a private school, Longridge Towers. Berwick also has a selection of leisure and sports clubs, banks, public houses, restaurants and The Maltings theatre and cinema which offers daily shows and movies.

There is a main line railway station which has regular trains to both Edinburgh, Newcastle and London, both Edinburgh and Newcastle are sub one hour travel time and London is circa 3 hours 45 minutes. There is also the A1 trunk road which bypasses the town and provides easy access to both north and south respectively.

The local area has a wide range of popular attractions and activities including Northumberland and Berwickshire’s rugged coastlines of unspoilt beaches and beautiful landscapes; Berwick walls and pier are only minutes away while Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, Bamburgh Castle and the ancient Border towns of Coldstream, Kelso and Melrose are within easy reach.

Country and sporting pursuits are also readily available, including hill walking, salmon and trout fishing, riding, hunting and shooting. Golf is available locally; within twenty minutes’ walk lies Berwick Golf Course and other courses can be found at Goswick and Eyemouth. Swimming, gym, squash and indoor bowling facilities exist at the Berwick Sports & Leisure Centre.
