Elm Bank’s magnificent setting, on the edge of the historic garrison town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, offers stunning panoramic views over the Northumberland coastline from Berwick to Holy Island, Bamburgh and beyond.
Cited only a mile south of the England / Scotland Border, Berwick-upon-Tweed, features greatly in history, when it was fiercely fought over by warring English and Scots – the remnants of the town’s colourful legacy is still apparent today in the town’s “walls”.
Berwick enjoys a twice weekly street market, offering goods from clothes and bags to pet supplies, fruit and veg and souvenirs; and just over the border into Scotland, the pretty coastal town of Eyemouth holds a regular fish market where fresh purchases of seafood can be obtained.
Land and sea-based activities are largely available in the area due to the superb location, with sandy beaches and leisure pools for children.
Newcastle-upon-Tyne is around and hour’s drive from Elm Bank with its host of theatres, restaurants and lively night life and the children will love Metro Land at one of Europe’s largest indoor shopping centres – The Metro Centre.
Elm Bank offers the perfect balance of relaxation, yet with plentiful distractions within easy reach to enjoy during your stay.
