The large and important medieval castle was mostly destroyed by the Victorians to build the railroad way-station to carry Londoners like the Queen up to Scotland for the grouse-shooting season.

Berwick is interesting in another way for its very fine Elizabethan fortifications -- pre-Vauban versions of ravelins, bastions mounting huge cannons, and counterscarps. One of the best surviving town defences of this sort in England. This is WELL worth seeing, even though the town has no ATM machines (at least it didn't in 1988).
