	Berwick-upon-Tweed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Berwick-upon-Tweed [bɛ.ɹɪk], situated in the county of Northumberland, is the northernmost town in England, on the east coast at the mouth of the river Tweed, situated 2.5 miles (4 km) south of the Scottish border.
		Although in that region the Tweed forms the border between England and Scotland, and the historic heart of the town of Berwick is located on the northern, Scottish, side, the modern (post-1482) boundary diverts itself around the town to keep it in England.
		The town proper lies on the north bank and to the north of the River Tweed, and was formerly the county town of Berwickshire in Scotland.
