THE fabulous beach, the easy walk to At Abbs Harbour and the Smugglers trail to Eyemouth. The short drives to Cove, a beautiful quirky harbour, especially the means of getting there, the walk up to the lighthouse near Pettico Wick Bay, past Mire Loch(bring good boots wear appropriate clothing, bring your binoculars), to Partanhall and Cowdrait Harbours and the short distance to Berwick, (walk the ramparts). Good parking in town.

Coldingham is a small town with a lot of history - and a sense of pride of place. The Priory ruins are a must see and interesting in themselves. Coldingham Bay is excellent for short beach walks to exercise humans as well as dogs and St Abbs harbour and nature reserve are both a short distance away. In respect of the latter we didn't time our walk quite as well as we could have done so didn't see any seals - but we could hear bull seals very clearly bellowing at each other. Our hosts tell us that dolphins are also regular visitors for anyone who loves marine mammals. Coldingham itself is blessed with two pubs, sadly with restricted access and hours due to Covid, and in normal times both have a reputation for good food. A local general store, a Post Office, Butcher and antique/gift shop complete the picture - and the holiday camp bar/restaurant/fish and chip shop is available to non-residents. Anything else is available in Eyemouth - and if that's a problem then Berwick is a 15 minute drive (or less) from Eyemouth.

Excellent spot to base yourself to explore the area. There is public transport available but a car will let you get too and see more places. The nearby beach at Coldingham Bay is well worth a visit and there is a clifftop walking path to St. Abbs.

Not many places to eat around the main village and the pub is really expensive. If you can drive out into eyemouth and surrounding areas there is much more choice. However the beach at Coldingham is amazing!

A lovely place to visit. Wonderful bay and cliffs to explore nearby. Coldingham itself is a lovely village. Two nice pubs to chose from and the post office cafe for a snack plus the impressive Priory to visit. Regular buses run from Edinburgh and Berwick so no need for a car.
