The wind skims the barley fields up here on the Berwickshire clifftops, carrying the salt tang of the North Sea and the distant cry of gulls wheeling over Eyemouth harbour.

This is a peaceful five-van certificated location for CAMC members seeking a proper away-from-it-all pitch within striking distance of the Scottish Borders coast. Tents, caravans and campervans all welcome, with electric hook-ups available if you need them. Coldingham's sandy bay is close enough for morning swims, while the dramatic cliffs and coves of St Abb's Head National Nature Reserve draw walkers and birdwatchers who don't mind a stiff breeze and big skies.

The setup is straightforward and unfussy — working farmland surrounds you, so expect tractors, proper quiet after dark, and weather that rolls in straight off the water. Campfires are worth checking about on arrival. It's the sort of spot where you'll sleep deeply and wake to nothing but skylarks and the rustle of canvas.

Berwickshire Coastal Path

Stretches 48km along Berwickshire's dramatic clifftops and secluded coves between Cockburnspath and Berwick-upon-Tweed. Terrain varies from gentle coastal grassland to steep rocky sections with significant ascents and descents—definitely not buggy-friendly. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and nesting birds. Families with older children will love rock-pooling at Coldingham and spotting seals at St Abb's Head, while the geology and seabird colonies make this a standout coastal walk.

St. Abb's Head Trail

Follows dramatic clifftop paths with steep drop-offs and uneven, rocky terrain – not suitable for buggies or toddlers. Dogs welcome on leads due to nesting seabirds and sheer edges. Expect moderate climbs and descends around the headland. Spectacular views over the North Sea, abundant wildlife including puffins and guillemots during breeding season, and a working lighthouse make this one of Scotland's finest coastal walks.
