Berwick-upon-Tweed - Carter Bar (68 Miles)

The Engand-Scotland border has a turbulent history. Centuries of war have left a battle-scarred landscape across much of the rolling hills that guard the frontier with Scotland. The 68-mile section of your Northumberland 250 adventure is a delight for those looking to explore England’s last great wilderness, whilst getting a glimpse into the past conflicts which have raged these lands for Centuries. Venture into the UK’s most sparsley populated National Park, discover the melting pot of Berwick-upon-Tweed, search for wild herds of neolithic goats, or marvel at crumbling besieged borderland castles.
