Summary
Stretching for some 48km from Cockburnspath in the north down to the English border and Berwick-upon-Tweed, the Berwickshire Coastal Path provides some superb walking. The northern end of the route links up with the Southern Upland Way, whilst the John Muir Way—which continues round the coastline of East Lothian—is accessible via the John Muir Link. The route takes in some dramatic clifftop scenery complete with arches, stacks, and crumbling castles. It rounds St Abb's Head, a National Nature Reserve renowned for its birdlife, to reach the attractive fishing village of St Abbs. Several sandy beaches are reached en route to the town of Eyemouth, before the long final stage leads on along the cliffs to cross the border. (Source: Walk Highlands)
