For a rewarding experience at the View of the Rock Arch in North Berwick, plan your visit during the spring or autumn months.

Scottish Seabird Centre

Highlight • Monument

The Scottish Seabird Centre is a fantastic experience whether you're a keen twitcher or are simply on a hike in the area. With live cams from seabird colonies, boat trips and plenty of fascinating information, there's lots to keep you occupied. Enjoy a snack at the cafe while you watch the sea or sign up to one of the educational family sessions, like beach cleaning and den building.

Dirleton Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Dirleton Castle is one of the oldest surviving strongholds in Scotland. Built in the 13th century, the fortress was residence to three successive noble families: the de Vauxs, Haliburtons and Ruthvens. It was abandoned as a noble residence after Oliver Cromwell’s siege of 1650 but was saved from falling into disrepair in 1660s when the Nisbet family took ownership. They transformed the castle into an eye-catching attraction; a status it has retained to this very day.

Goose on the Green Café

Highlight • Cafe

Great food and coffee. No bike racks or seats outside but plenty of benches nearby overlooking the golf course if you want a takeaway. Cakes look amazing, but star of the show for me is the wraps!! Great sustenance during a long ride. Quick service despite being busy.
