Day 214 - tour round Berwick and its environs (Tuesday 2 April)

Set out for today's run with no real plan other than using the MapMyRun app on my phone to keep track of distance. Lovely sunny day, though still cold, so set off down the hill into Spittal and along the river side road to Tweedmouth then over the bridge into Berwick.

From there I ran out to towards the lighthouse, cut uphill onto the golf course and round to the old coastguard watch tower. Here there are great views at low tide of some fascinating rock formations, what looks like a dome structure, a source of coal/oil/gas in the past perhaps?

Next stop Berwick caravan holiday park, the 'Haven', then back into town to the station, down the high street over the new road bridge and out to East Ord. Nice village green at East Ord and interesting old houses, the village itself probably founded around the 1100's on salmon fishing on the Tweed. From East Ord it was country lanes winding there way back towards Berwick coming out by the cemetery on the old A1. Short uphill then back to Elm Bank Coastal Retreat and fabulous views down the coast to Lindifarne.

Just shy of nine miles in all. So, that edges the overall tally onwards and upwards to 1,191.
