Halidon Hill
hill near Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, United Kingdom / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Halidon Hill is a mountain located approximately 2 miles (3 kilometers) west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the boundary between England and Scotland. It stands 600 feet (180 meters) tall. The hill's name implies that it formerly had a fortress on its top. At the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333, Edward III of England defeated a Scottish force headed by Archibald the "Tyneman" Douglas, Regent of Scotland, with longbowmen on the hill's crest.[1][2]
