In addition, there is a choice of doctors and dental surgeries as well as the local hospital. Beyond Berwick-upon-Tweed there is a range of popular attractions including historic castles and villages dotted along the outstandingly beautiful Northumberland coastline, the renowned Holy Island, the Cheviot Hills and popular market towns of Alnwick and Kelso.
