Coldstream itself has an amazing story, once a focus for Borderland conflict between Scotland and England in the 15th and 16th centuries. The Scottish Army lost heavily to the English at the nearby site of Flodden in 1513, and this event is remembered every August during ‘Civic Week’, with an elaborate re-enactment ceremony to remember 1513. The famous Coldstream Guards, the oldest regiment of the British, was formed and housed here. Its museum is round the corner from Caustrim Cottage.

To the south are the beautiful Cheviot Hills, the Northumberland National Park, and the Northumberland Heritage Coast, including the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Bamborough Castle starred as the Brancaster Castle in ‘Downton Abbey’s’ 2015 Christmas special, it also featured as "Hogwarts" in the first two Harry Potter films, and was used for Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. The nearby gardens are among the finest in the country.

15 miles to the east is Berwick-upon-Tweed, the most northern town in England with its unique Elizabethan walls, beach, theatre and water-sport activities. The Swan Leisure Centre has a swimming pool. To the north lies Edinburgh with its rich cultural and historical treasures. The stunning east coastline of Scotland includes jewels like St. Abb’s Head and the fishing port of Eyemouth with its family of resident seals.

On wet days, the delights of Sir Walter Scott’s fairytale Abbotsford House awaits and is only an hour away. Take a look at the Tapestry illustrating Scottish history, housed in Galashiels.

Coldstream sits on the English/Scottish border on the famous River Tweed, making a great base for exploring further afield, encountering the largely undiscovered southern Scotland and northern England all within an hour and an easy return to modern comforts at the end of the day!
