Line 1: Line 1: −
'''Berwick upon Tweed''' in [[Northumberland]] is the northernmost town in [[England]], located where the [[River Tweed]] flows into the [[North Sea]]. It was much fought over during the Anglo-Scottish wars of the middle ages, changing hands thirteen times between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, and finally coming under English control in 1482. Queen Elizabeth I had the walls of Berwick rebuilt to the most modern standards, and these walls form one of the finest monuments of sixteenth century military engineering in northern [[Europe]]. Medieval Berwick had been Scotland's richest port, and under English rule it was also to become a prosperous trading center, exporting [[wheat]] from its agricultural hinterland, eggs, and [[salmon]] from the rich waters of the Tweed.
