'I must admit the new wall is marvellous beautiful', was an opinion voiced to Queen Elizabeth about the bastioned fortifications in 1568..... before condemning them as badly designed and a waste of money!

Local historian, Jim Herbert, takes you on a journey amongst the northern medieval defences of Berwick that actually saw some action in the Anglo-Scottish wars and bear witness to the changes in technology from the earliest ditch defence to the 16th-century bastions. The tour takes in Spades Mire, Bell Tower and Lord's Mount.
