Built in the early 18th century to protect the town during the Jacobite risings, Berwick Barracks is one of the first purpose-built barracks in the UK.
It contains a small museum with several exhibitions, both permanent and temporary.

A good museum display military history. It’s just the right amount. Not overwhelming information. An hour well spent.

Hiking
The old Berwick Garrison is steeped in history and really helps explain the town’s military importance over the centuries. You can still see the impressive parade ground, officers’ quarters and other buildings that once housed soldiers guarding the border. It links beautifully with the surrounding Elizabethan walls and bastions, so walking here feels like stepping back into Berwick’s turbulent past. Today it’s peaceful and atmospheric, with plenty of information boards to bring the story to life.
