View along the cliffs and birds near the lighthouse at Berwick-upon-Tweed - 14th May 2026

I decided to go for a walk along the cliffs in Berwick-upon-Tweed on an overcast morning.  When I reached the Coastwatch station, one of the volunteers came out onto the balcony and asked if I would like to see the view from inside.  I had to climb up a vertical ladder inside the building.


View towards the lighthouse from the Coastwatch station

Overlooking part of the golf course, with the holiday park in the distance

The orange flag is only flown outside the Coastwatch Station when the volunteers are there

I then carried on with my walk along the cliffs and viewed the lighthouse from the Little Beach area
