* [[Berwick Castle]] was built in the 13th century and rebuilt in the 1290s. It was in disrepair by the 17th century, and much of it was demolished in the 19th century to make way for the [[East Coast Main Line|railway]]. However, substantial ruins remain just outside the town's rampart walls to the west by the river.
* [[Berwick town walls]] and Tudor ramparts are some of the country's finest remaining examples of their type.
* The [[Berwick Bridge|Old Bridge]], 15-span [[sandstone]] arch bridge {{cvt|1164|ft|m|order=flip}} long, built in 1610–1624 for £15,000. The bridge continues to carry road traffic, but in one direction only. The bridge, part of the [[Great North Road (Great Britain)|Great North Road]] from [[London]] to [[Edinburgh]] was built by order of [[James VI and I]].[[File:Berwick church.jpg|thumb|[[Church of the Holy Trinity, Berwick-on-Tweed|Holy Trinity Parish Church]]]]
* [[Church of the Holy Trinity, Berwick-on-Tweed|Holy Trinity Parish Church]], unusual for having been built during the [[Commonwealth of England]]. It was built in 1648–1652 with stone from the 13th-century castle. It was originally a plain "preaching box", with no steeple, stained glass or other decorations. Contents include a pulpit thought to have been built for John Knox during his stay in the town. The church was much altered in 1855 with many new windows and the addition of a [[chancel]].
* [[Berwick Barracks]], built 1717–1721, the design attributed to [[Nicholas Hawksmoor]].
* [[Berwick Town Hall]], designed by S&J Worrell and built in 1754–1760. The building is [[Neoclassical architecture|neoclassical]], and originally the town's prison was on the top floor. The tower above the council chamber has a [[Change ringing|ring of eight bells]] and a [[curfew bell]]. Lester and Pack of the [[Whitechapel Bell Foundry]] cast the tenor, third, fourth and treble bells in 1754 and the fifth and sixth bells in 1759. Charles Carr of [[Smethwick]] cast the second and curfew bells in 1894. Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the seventh bell in 1901.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dove.cccbr.org.uk/detail.php?searchString=Berwick&Submit=+Go+&DoveID=BERWICKUTW |title=Berwick upon Tweed Town Hall |last=Smith |first=Martin |date=1 February 2007 |work=[[Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers]] |publisher=[[Central Council for Church Bell Ringers]] |access-date=21 January 2015 |archive-date=4 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904092352/http://dove.cccbr.org.uk/detail.php?searchString=Berwick&Submit=+Go+&DoveID=BERWICKUTW |url-status=live }}</ref>

* The [[Royal Border Bridge]], designed by [[Robert Stephenson]] and built in 1847–1850 at a cost of £253,000, is a 720-yard-long railway [[viaduct]] with 28 arches, carrying the [[East Coast Main Line]] 126 feet above the River Tweed.

It is one of few purpose-built Masonic halls in the country and is a scarce example of Victorian Masonic architecture. It has a large pipe organ built in 1895. The Hall contains many artefacts and documents concerning Freemasonry in the town, which can be traced back to 1643.
* The [[Royal Tweed Bridge]], built in 1925 to carry the [[A1 road (Great Britain)|A1 road]] across the Tweed. Its span is {{cvt|361|ft|m|order=flip}}, which at the time was the longest concrete span. The A1 now bypasses the town to the west. In the early 2000s, the bridge was renovated, the road and pavement layout revised, and new street lighting added.
* [[Dewars Lane]] runs down Back Street just off Bridge Street. Like other Berwick locations, it was painted by [[L. S.
