With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Cocklawburn Beach, 40 miles away, has to offer. Haggerston Castle should be high up on your list here. Chain Bridge Honey Farm and Berwick-upon-Tweed Barracks and Main Guard are interesting attractions too. Don’t forget about Joppa Shore either! Just 60 miles away, Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre and Royal Yacht Britannia are non-negotiable stops here.
