Hotels, Guest accommodation, Self Catering & Camping in Coldingham
The village of Coldingham is found near the Berwickshire coast, 3 miles north of Eyemouth. The village developed after the establishment of the Abbey of Coldingham in the 7th century. Visitors will find a thriving community offering a variety of services within the village. At its heart, are the ruins of Coldingham Priory, one of the most important and wealthiest monasteries in medieval Scotland. Coldingham Priory was a house of Benedictine monks, and although the monastery was largely destroyed by Oliver Cromwell in 1650, some remains of the priory exist, the choir of which forms the present parish church serviced by the Church of Scotland.
Coldingham Sands is an award-winning large sandy beach; a rare occurrence on the usually rocky coast of Berwickshire. The beach has the prestigious Blue Flag award and has also received the Seaside Award for beaches that are more rural in character, being quieter and less developed. There is a cafe, toilets, disabled access and car parking. The beach is well sheltered by headlands and popular with surfers and bodyboarders. A lifeguard attends the beach during busy summer periods. The north end of the beach has 55 beach huts, some of which are believed to be about 100 years old. For those who prefer walking, the spectacular Berwickshire Coastal path passes by the village.
