公众访问 城堡对所有人开放,残疾人可以进入城墙。 然而,需要注意的是,在城墙的一些区域有陡峭的、无人看守的下坡。

中世纪城堡的遗迹和英格兰最完整的堡垒式城镇防御,由苏格兰国王大卫一世在12世纪首次建造。 贝里克在苏格兰和英格兰之间来回转换,以至于据说它与耶路撒冷的转换次数不相上下,这也证明了该镇在历史上发挥的重要作用。在中世纪的时候被围困了。

19世纪对贝里克城堡的描述

12世纪,贝里克在苏格兰国王的统治下首次繁荣起来,成为东海岸的一个贸易港口以及苏格兰最重要的皇家行政区。 在该世纪后半叶,苏格兰国王狮子威廉多次试图将整个诺森伯兰置于他的控制之下。 这是一种近乎痴迷的行为,但最终证明没有结果,而且1175年,威廉在阿尔恩威克被俘后被迫将该镇割让给英格兰。 由于需要钱支付他的十字军东征,理查德一世将贝里克卖给了苏格兰人。 尽管在约翰统治时期曾试图夺回该镇,但它仍在苏格兰人的控制之下,直到爱德华一世集结军队入侵苏格兰。 贝里克在1296年被攻占,镇民遭到大屠杀,他们被英国定居者取代。

爱德华一世加强了城堡,并下令建造贝里克长达两英里的实质性城墙。 尽管如此,威廉-华莱士和罗伯特-布鲁斯都为苏格兰人夺回了该镇,前者是短暂的,后者是在1333年被爱德华三世封锁。 在整个中世纪时期,贝里克仍然是一个坚固的防御性城市。 然而,给游客留下深刻印象的城墙是它们开始于1558年,当时英格兰和苏格兰之间的关系非常紧张,法国入侵的威胁也达到了顶峰。 只有北侧是为使用大炮而设计的,才得以完成。 贝里克是都铎时代仅有的三个长期驻军的城镇之一。 这些发展使城堡变得过时,大部分剩余的一些13世纪的城堡和原来广泛的城墙碎片仍然存在。 勋爵山,一个可以追溯到亨利八世统治时期的半圆形炮台,以及其他可追溯到内战时期和雅各布'45时期的防御设施也仍然存在。
