Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland
Details
Accessibility
"Accessibility around Berwick-upon-Tweed varies, with the Spittal beach offering accessible beach wheelchairs and the Berwick Town Hall having stair-climbers for upper floors. However, the historic nature of the town's ramparts and the Berwick Museum & Art Gallery means there are limitations, particularly with upper floors and uneven surfaces in the town center. Visitors are advised to check specific venue accessibility, utilize resources like Visit Northumberland and Beach Access North East, and plan routes carefully, especially for the town's historic ramparts and areas with cobbles."
