Memories

Memories fade as Time creeps on

Berwick Wall Walk ends

In for a treat on the last stretch of the Wall Walk of Berwick

Walk a little more along on top of the wall - we see where the old moat used to be.

Underneath were the place to store and also passages.

Hey turn around, do you want a bargain ?? A car boot sale, 

The sun was shining up here, but by Gum was'nt it windy, go to the edge and you felt the wind trying to blow you off the wall.

Dropping down the slope a little, 

look to your left and we see that we do fly our flag in some places, also fly our knickers too.lol

Well, here we are, the steps to take us down from the wall.

Roughly two -two and half mile to walk round the wall and roughly takes 45 mins they say, but it depends on how many times you stop and just look and admire the scenery also take your photos - plus if you explore all the tunnels too.

Down to earth at last, and here's the old gateway to the Town of Berwick.

Hope you all have enjoyed your wall walk and not too tired out, as we have more to see in Berwick, then there's Holy Island to come, oh and Canvey Island - where Mum - in - Law lives

oh it goes on  and on, dunit??

Entertainment at Berwick

Street entertainment at Berwick, Pan Pipe music and drum with the Chief.
Just note how well this headress of the chiefs look.

Berwick Wall from x to z

Back from a short visit to see Mum in Law down in Canvey Island.

We continue our walk along Berwick wall.

here's the info and we are walking from X to Z on this post.

We follow the wall behind the houses and walk up slightly, take your time , no need to rush, dont want you out of breath at the top.lol.

As we take a breather just look left and that tree and just below is the remains of a look-out.

We now follow this path,

on the left we see the Barracks ----

but first lets just run up this bank to the right and see --

Ah, here we see the Light house and way off we see Holy Island...

This is the Barracks.

and if we just drop down the grass hump over there we see ---

The steps from the Barracks to the sea front going under the path that we are walking.

To be continued.

This cannon just a stroll from the Look-out is Russian made.

Here we are - who would like to live here, over looking the sea and the Tweed River Mouth?

To be continued

Walking the wall of Berwick 3

Ah, now is that a look-out post we see in front -shall we go and see?

but before we do just look to the right -

Here we see the Tweed Mouth Beach, just look at all those swans, I reckon they are so graceful, dont you?

Ok, take a deep breath --

.Just look - all these steps,lol and notice 

how worn they look, how many Soldiers have marched up and down these

to defend Berwick.

Here's the info for the Look-out.

Click the pic to enlarge for you to read.

To be continued.

Walking the walls of Berwick 2

Well, here we are at the top of the steps and here our walk begins.

On the left we have some 16th century houses, some enpty and going to rack and ruin, what a shame eh!.

On the right the right we have the mouth of the River Tweed.

If we turn around - we can see the 3 bridges of Berwick.

Looking across the Tweed we see the old Life guard station, but we cant hang about here all day, we have a fair way to go, if we want to go around the wall today.

To be continued.
