The Royal Tweed Bridge spans the River Tweed and was designed to redirect traffic away from the 17th-century Berwick Bridge.

It served a crucial role as part of the A1 road, the primary route connecting London to Edinburgh, until the 1980s with the construction of the A1 River Tweed Bridge to the west of Berwick (Berwick Bypass).

From this bridge you will get an excellent view of both the Old Berwick Bridge and the Royal Border Bridge, a Grade I listed railway viaduct.

There's a shared-use cycleway on this bridge, and it's part of NCN 1.
