King's Arms Hotel
Type: Hotel
Stay at The Kings Arms, Berwick Upon Tweed.
Nowhere else can match the rich mixture of breathtaking sandy beaches, undulating hills and valleys, fertile farmland, abundant wildlife, villages of character, historic towns and great castles.
This is the border of England. Stretching south from the Scottish Border and the great River Tweed, contained on the west by the wild beauty of the Cheviot Hills and the Northumberland National Park, and on the east by the magnificent Northumberland Coastline. At the head lies the elegant Georgian town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, encircled by Europe's finest preserved Elizabethan fortifications.
One of the most fought over towns in history, it has changed hands between the English and Scots fourteen times over 300years and is now one of the country's most rewarding assets.
Two great edifices watch over the borough's superb Heritage Coastline. The castles of Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and Bamburgh seem to nod acquaintance to each other from their great outcrops of rock perched high above an area of outstanding natural beauty, a coastline characterised by wide, clean beaches and rolling dunes.
Holy Island has a rhythm of its own, dictated by the tides. Accessible only twice a day when the tide drops away from the causeway, it is the source of the original Lindisfarne Gospels and has an ethereal quality where nature and history combine to provide a peaceful refuge for the spirit.
Bamburgh's spectacular setting is only matched by the richness of the rest of the coastline. Facing offshore you look out onto the shoal of Farne Islands, the destination of unforgettable sea-borne trips to savour the colonies of seals and seabirds, from the bustling little port of Seahouses. There, when the weather permits, a fleet of colourful fishing boats ferry expectant passengers from the working harbour on forays to see the puffins, eiders, shags, cormorants, terns, gulls and doe-eyed seals.
