Grantshouse is a quiet Berwickshire village, accessed off the A1,just ten miles north of the harbour town of Eyemouth, where there is a high school, and some eight miles from the lovely village of Coldingham which has great local amenities with a primary school, play-park, community hall and doctor’s surgery. Coldingham Priory is steeped in history and the fantastic ‘Blue Flag’ Coldingham Beach is a local attraction for surfers and holiday makers. A short distance north is the village of St Abbs where there is a wonderful Nature Reserve and Bird Sanctuary. The cliff top walk from Coldingham to St. Abbs is simply stunning and is highly recommended. The area also boasts some of the best diving in the UK and attracts divers from all over the world.
