Reviewed By PTStu - Motherwell, United Kingdom
We went as a family of 4 with our 2 boys (age 2 & 4). It was reptile day so we got to see and hold snakes, lizards, millipede, rat, baby owls and then the tarantula. The kids totally loved it and were buzzing. Me and Mum loved it too and managed to come out of our comfort zones by holding the tarantula and snake. The staff were so good with us they made it easy. I think we all enjoyed it as much as each other. I thoroughly recommend this for all ages. The staff really make the difference and make the experience good for kids & adults.

One of the finest examples of an 18th-century Palladian Country house in all of Britain. There are many activities at Paxton House to keep you busy for a whole day, including house tours, boat trips and net fishing on the River Tweed, tearoom and gift shop, extensive grounds and gardens, galleries and exhibitions. We also have different types of accommodation, including an apartment, a lodge and a caravan park if you wish to stay and enjoy Paxton House for longer.

6. Berwick-upon-Tweed Barracks and Main Guard
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 305 reviews
Built in the early 18th century to the design of the distinguished architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, the Barracks was among the first in England to be purpose built. The 'By Beat of Drum' exhibition gives you an insight into the life of the British infantryman from the Civil War to the First World War. A stone's throw away from the Scottish borders and located in a Georgian market town it also boasts a range of other temporary and permanent exhibitions to explore: The King's Own Scottish Borderers museum, the Berwick Gymnasium Art Gallery and the Berwick Museum and Art Gallery (please note that, while 'By Beat of Drum' is open every day, the opening times for the other museums varies).

Not a full day out by any means, but well worth the admission price. Fascinating insight into local military history and military life in general with particular emphasis on the King's Own Scottish Borderers. These are the most expensive buildings maintained by English Heritage.
7. The Elizabethan Town Walls

Reviewed By Ruth5757 - St Helens, United Kingdom
Berwick's Town walls are an outstanding example of their type and are unusual in incorporating lengthy portions of strongly built earthworks. They did their job of keeping out the Scots exceedingly well. They survive in surprisingly good condition and can be walked along for much of their length providing extensive views of the town, the sea and the surrounding Northumbrian countryside,

Our first visit to Berwick and we had no idea Lowry had been taken by the town/river/people and that he visited so often. The tourist boards at the various places along the walk where he painted the views display his works.
