Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the Northumberland coast at the mouth of the River Tweed, had a population of around 12,000 at the 2021 census — England's northernmost town, and one with a border history few places can match.
A town fought over for centuries
Berwick sits right on the border between England and Scotland, and for much of the medieval period that's exactly what it was fought over: the town changed hands between the two kingdoms repeatedly during the wars of the 13th to 16th centuries before finally settling as English in 1482.
What's left from that turbulent history are the town's Elizabethan walls, built between 1558 and the 1570s to defend against Scottish and French attack. They're now one of the best-preserved examples of 16th-century artillery fortification in Europe, and visitors can still walk the full circuit.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Berwick's border and military history didn't translate into a confectionery trade, and as a small border town it doesn't have a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — that's simply not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Berwick shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option — no trip into Newcastle or over the border to Edinburgh required.
