“The Berwick Museum not only houses part of the famous Burrell Collection, it also tells the story of the old garrison town through the ages. However, Burrell at Berwick is certainly the jewel in the museum’s crown. Sir William Burrell made his fortune in shipping, and used it to fund his amazing art collection. He gave most of this to his home city, Glasgow, but presented about 50 precious paintings and 300 decorative items to Berwick when he retired to nearby Hutton Castle. The artists on show at Berwick include Degas, Boudin, and Maris. There is ancient Roman and Venetian glass, and medieval religious artefacts from the West. From the East come intricately worked Islamic ceramic and metal ware, exquisite Japanese Imari Pottery, and fine Ming porcelain. Due to limited space, not all the Burrell Collection can be displayed. If you want to see a specific item, please contact the Museum before you travel. They will try and arrange a special viewing. English Heritage houses the Berwick Borough Museum at Berwick Barracks. ”

“Brilliant information, have used several of the pubs and visited many of the properties. Some that
I didn’t
know were so close to home. Keep up the good work.”
Steve, UK
“Thanks very much for your help. Gone out and got a 1Gb card and all is now loaded. One way of rating a company is the back up support and you score 10/10 .”
Graham, London
“The content is good and the level of detail about right, enough to pique your interest but not so much
that you feel you're attending a lecture.”
Sam, Manchester
“I've used the programme a few times now on my travels and it does add a good deal of value
to a journey so I'm very happy with my purchase.”
John, UK
“The Audio commentary on the Garmin was well narrated and definitely had the feel of the audio
guides you get when you are walking around the landmarks themselves”.
Linda, New Jersey
“Finding atmospheric pubs with good food is always a challenge when you don't know the area and
can be stressful when you're hungry and tired!!”
David, Essex

it's suggested has been a winner.”
Nikki, Cambridgeshire'
“The heritage commentary is really informative and entertaining – it’s great to discover
the background to the brown tourist signs we normally whizz by on the motorway.”
