Damian arrives back around lunchtime so we plan a short walk from Sea Cottage near Scremerston back to Berwick. It’s a beautiful day for lacing up your walking boots.

A clear path across the top of the cliffs presents us with views over what’s marked on the map as Cargie’s Plantation and Redshin Cove – both very un British names..

Doesn’t take long before we can see Berwick in the distance….

And then we’re down on the promenade…………

After a mile of seaside attractions the path winds round to the left to follow the south bank of the Tweed. We now follow a minor road past the docks – moored next to the harbour wall rests a Jack-Up Drilling Rig which allows for mobile offshore drilling in shallow waters.

I am much more interested in the flotilla of swans gliding around within the harbour walls.

Our destination is the Old Berwick Bridge where I started off a couple of days ago, heading north for the Scottish border. it is a majestic sight rising out of the mist.

It’s neighbour, the Royal Tweed Bridge is equally impressive in its own way.

Distance: 3 miles
