Coldingham Bay is located on the East Berwickshire coast just a 10 minute gentle stroll from Coldingham Village. The beach has been awarded the top Marine Conservation Society award for water quality. There are public toilets, showers and car parking. During the main holiday season the beach is patrolled by RNLI Life Guards, the first beach in Scotland to provide this valuable feature. Coldingham Bay is a perfect family destination with wide gently sloping sands surrounded by many rock pools for exploration. The Berwickshire Coastal Path crosses the beach.
We walked from St Abbs to Coildingham via the beach, it was lovely and sandy and so clean, we collected stones and mooched in the rockpools - just great.

Coldingham Priory, located at the centre of Coldingham, date back over 1000 years. Records go back to 647 AD and there is evidence of earlier settlement. The Priory remains in use today as a place of worship. Nearby, the Coldingham Luckenbooth, houses the Priory Interpretation Centre, giving detaild information on Priory History along with more about the historic conservation village itself. The Luckenbooth is open almost every day of the week and the Priory opens for public viewing during the holiday season. The grounds and gardens are open all year round and admission is free.
The building is beautiful, currently having some work done on the outside as there is some scaffolding. The remains of the older priory can be seen in what is now a peaceful garden with a lovely stone seating area. Unfortunately due to Covid the Priory was closed but it is still worth a visit. There are some commonwealth graves in the graveyard. There is an information board at the gates giving the history of the priory.
