Situation:

Quarrydene is situated a mile and a half South of Berwick-upon-Tweed at Spittal, which is immediately beside the sea.

Berwick-upon-Tweed itself is a historic market town, its strategic significance giving rise to splendid architecture and the only intact late medieval town walls in Europe. Within these walls are restaurants, shopping, theatre and arts centre. Outwith the walls lies the unspoilt beauty of North Northumberland and the borders. Leisure opportunities abound, including golf at the renowned courses of Goswick and Roxburgh, excellent river fishing and horse riding.

There is a wide range of schooling available with excellent first, middle and high schools as well as the private school of Longridge Towers and the preparatory schools of St. Mary’s at Melrose and Mowden Hall near Hexham.
