Where rolling farmland meets the North Sea.
Cockburnspath—Co’Path to many locals—sits among broad fields, with rolling farmland extending westwards and the Berwickshire coast a short distance to the east. Its story brings together medieval landmarks, artists, railway history, village life and two long-distance walking routes.
Small place, long memory.
The village story reaches from Bronze Age finds and medieval churches to the railway, the Glasgow Boys and a community-run shop. Cove and the coast are only a short distance to the east.
Follow what catches your eye.
The square, surrounding fields, railway, clifftop and harbour each show a different part of Cockburnspath and Cove.
“The mind seemed to grow giddy by looking so far back into the abyss of time.”John Playfair, recalling the 1788 visit to Siccar Point
