Community • Historic

"I must admit the new wall is marvellous beautiful", was an opinion voiced to Queen Elizabeth in 1568, but what did the writer go on to say? Built at a time of uncertainty, this was the most expensive project of Elizabeth's reign. Today a tour of these walls i the best way to see Berwick and get an overview of its past and present and along the way encounter conflicting consultants and medieval map making. Led by local historian, Jim Herbert, this walk gives an insight in the history of these unusual walls which encircle the town.
