Berwick-upon-Tweed, in the county of Northumberland, is the northernmost town in England, on the east coast at the mouth of the River Tweed.  It is situated 2.5 miles (4 km) south of the Scottish border and is roughly halfway between Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Edinburgh.  It is situated on the Main East Coast Railway Line and is also adjacent to the A1.

The area has been central to the historic border war between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland for centuries, changing hands 13 times, the last time being when England re-conquered it in 1482.  Berwick remains a traditional market town and it also boasts some notable architectural features, in particular its defence ramparts, barrack buildings and town hall.
