England and Scotland have a bloody history of warfare, conflict, and battles! Join this Anglo-Scottish battlefield tour to learn about the warfare that dates back to the early medieval period. Visit the famous locations where the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria, the Scots and the Picts dueled it out to see who would rule in Northern Britain. Following the Norman conquest, the thrones of England and Scotland continued to battle to decide where the border would finally be set.
Explore the English and Scottish borders, travelling to Carham, an Anglo-Saxon battle site where the border moved from Lothian to the river Tweed. After, you'll move on to Norham Castle, one of the most fought over castles in the region.
Then head to the former fortress city of Berwick, where you will stop for lunch. Hear about the incredibly bloody and contested history in Berwick, and see its impressive walls. Finally, finish your tour at the Flodden Battlefield – one of the greatest victories that the English had over the Scots and the largest battle between the two nations.
