The charming coastal town of North Berwick has been named one of the UK's best locations - and one stunning beach has been hailed as a must-visit by tourists
With its unspoilt beaches and stunning coastal views, the picturesque seaside town of North Berwick in East Lothian has been hailed as one of the UK's must-visit locations. Nestled on the southern side of the Firth of Forth, just 20 miles from Edinburgh, this charming coastal gem offers a peaceful retreat from city life.
Tantallon Castle and Dirleton Castle, located east and west of North Berwick respectively, are ready to ignite any visitor's imagination. Tantallan Castle, just a ten-minute drive from the town, sits dramatically on a cliff edge, boasting ancient dungeons and battlements ripe for exploration. Nearly 170 TripAdvisor reviews have given this striking beach an average rating of 4.5 stars, with many users commenting on the peaceful ambiance it provides. One visitor commented, "Stunning beach with beautiful views, very quiet. Great for a picnic or dog walk," while another remarked, "We were staying quite close so walked here after lunch and wow it's worth it. Lots to walk around and explore - when the tide is out you can walk onto the rocks.
In terms of cuisine, North Berwick is a food lover's paradise, with celebrated venues such as the stylish Steampunk Cafe and Drift, which offers dramatic cliffside vistas. Those with a sweet tooth can feast on delectable offerings from Bostock Bakery or enjoy fresh local seafood at North Berwick Fry.
