At the time of our visit the KSB museum was closed for renovations. As a result there was very little of interest and the various open rooms were a wasted opportunity to tell the story of Berwick an…Full review by AnneandArk
We will be staying in Edinburgh in June 2020. We are planning a day trip to Berwick-upon-Tweed. What is the best way to get there? Train? Bus? Rental car? Once we get to town, are all of the sights within walking distance? Any hints/suggestions for our day?

Depends on your budget, really. There's a train from Edinburgh to Berwick Upon Tweed going there, roughly, every 40 minutes. Return ticket shouldn't cost more than twenty something, unless you wanna travel first class. Berwick it's a small town so, yes, all of the sights there are in walking distance. However, to the south of Berwick, not so far from it (around half an hour by car) can be found Holy Island with ruins of Lindisfarne Priory (destroyed by Vikings in 8th century), and Lindisfarne Castle. And a little bit further to the south there's Bamburgh Castle, well preserved medieval castle with interesting exposition, but I'm afraid that for visiting all mentioned places you will need more than just one day. But if you would decide to visit them anyway, I would recommend renting a car.
What is it like for someone with poor mobility? Thanks

I did not go to the regimental museum. Both the others have steps; For the military history one you sort of start on the ground floor, go up to the first, back down and then back up again before coming back down. Plenty of space, and wide staircases, but no lifts that I spotted. Seem to remember a couple of steps up to the Berwick Museum, and again it is split between 2 floors. Also, given the number of exhibits, would have thought quite difficult to manoeuvre around.
