“I must admit the new wall is marvellous beautiful”, was an opinion voiced to Queen Elizabeth in 1568, but what did the writer go on to say? Built at a time of uncertainty, this was the most expensive project of Elizabeth’s reign. Today, a tour of these walls is the best way to see Berwick and get an overview of its past. Led by local historian, Jim Herbert, this walk gives an insight into the history of these unusual walls which encircle the town. A great opportunity to find out more about Berwick's fascinating history if you can't actually make it to the town over the Heritage Open Days period - enjoy the walk from anywhere in the world.
