About this event

Community • Heritage

Led by volunteers from the "Femmer to Firmer" Project which was run by Museums Northumberland in 2014, this walk focusses on the history of Healthcare in Berwick over the past 800 years. This is a chance to see and hear about some of Berwick’s buildings from a new perspective, and keep healthy too!The guided walk starts with Maison Dieu , a medieval religious hospital and wends it way around the historic centre of Berwick stopping at buildings that hide their medical past and takes us right up to today as it passes the site of the state-of-the-art, newly constructed Berwick Hospital. The walk finishes back down on the riverside where we find out more about the old Castle Hills Maternity Hospital fondly remembered by many of Berwick’s current residents.
