Berwick Upon Tweed - the fortified walls

What a glorious blue sky!

Is this the start of Spring? Frosty this morning and SO cold again but SUN!

The pictures show Berwick's town walls. They are only the intact Elizabethan town walls remaining in England - built around 1558 by Henry VIII and then Elizabeth I. Berwick changed hands between the English and Scots 14 (yes 14) times in the 200yrs prior to 1482. Each time the population was slaughtered.

You?d be a bit miffed after that wouldn't you?

Btw Berwick finally ended up in England - though I think it wishes it was in Scotland.
