Well here we are in Berwick-upon-Tweed It is England's most northerly town. In the past it has changed hands 13 times between Scottish and English rule. Currently it is English. It has an old Bridge, Town walls and a castle. 

It is still technically at war with Russia. This came about in 1853 when Britain declared war against Russia it mentioned Berwick seperately in the articles. However, at the Treaty of Paris in1856 when hostilities ended, Berwick was not mentioned.

Take your last taste of England as you discover Berwick, we may be here a day or two. We'll be crossing the border into Scotland on our next passage.
