The Bridge/Viaduct
thing that takes the Trans Penine Express over Morecambe bay between Arnside and Kents Bank gives you what I firmly believe to be the finest view this country has to offer. But it's a shitty bridge that I am constantly scared is going to collapse, so I guess that doesn't count.

you know what I mean about the view too then.
It's stunning. And different every single time it seems, depending on the tide, the weather, the time of day. It mesmerises me.

The view from the train
as you head into Berwick upon Tweed is pretty stunning too. Along the coastal cliff tops for a few miles, then the sweeping curve over the Royal Border Bridge into the town itself is one of the finest sights I've ever seen from a train.

That sounds dangerously close to Scotland though, and I'm not going there...

I know, I know.
But I can't let DG have the upper hand on whose view is best.

Berwick is lovely.

It is a very pretty town.
It's just a shame that a lot of the people who live there are so fucking insular. I couldn't wait to leave in that respect.

stupid late reply
They have redone the bridge recently and I went over it last weekend however the tide was in and I forgot how low to the water the bridge was...
