Spanning the River Tweed from Horncliffe to Fishwick, the Union Suspension Bridge forms the border between England and Scotland. Cycling across the bridge is great fun!

The bridge was opened in 1820 to carry traffic over the River Tweed.
Spanning 449 feet (137 m), it used to be the longest iron suspension bridge in the world. Today, it is still the oldest suspension bridge carrying road traffic and is Grade-I listed.
