Berwick: The Ramparts |
|||
Berwick is around the most northerly part of England, on the north bank of the Tweed, and more northerly than the parts of Scotland I visited this year. It was an important military centre for the years when the border was fought over, and the whole town is surrounded by wide grassed ramparts or a wall along by the riverside. We walked the whole distance round, eating our lunch looking out to the sea across the mouth of the Tweed. These pictures are at least roughly in order of our journey around the town. Berwick also features in the paintings of LS Lowry, and there are several boards on the ramparts showing scenes that he painted here. |
