Area insights


Viewfield sits on the corner of the village green in Gavinton located just two miles from the thriving town of Duns. Known for its peaceful atmosphere and strong sense of community, Gavinton offers a welcoming environment and a true sense of rural charm. The village hall, across the road from Viewfield is a hub for the community offering events and film screenings.

The nearby town of Duns offers a range of local and national amenities including small independent shops, cafes, public houses, a highly regarded garden centre and a co-op. The local primary school and Berwickshire High School are nearby, as well as a community swimming pool. The town also has two gp practices, dentist, pharmacy as well as a range of attractions such as Manderston House, the Jim Clark Motor Museum, a challenging 18 hole golf course and walks round Duns Castle Estate.

There are a number of larger towns near Gavinton, the biggest being the historic market town of Berwick-upon-Tweed which is about 17 miles away. Berwick houses many of the major supermarket chains, independent shops, a number of historical attractions within its medieval walls, numerous restaurants and cafes and the Maltings arts centre. Berwick also has a main line train station which offers an hourly service to London.

Duns is perfectly located for exploring both local and wider areas. The surrounding villages and hamlets of Cranshaws, Longformacus and Abbey St Bathans offer historic charm, wild woodland walks and breath-taking open views perfect for all sorts of outdoor activities. There are numerous dramatic castles, and historic houses to explore as well as the historic Border Abbey towns of Kelso, Melrose and Jedburgh. Equally impressive is the nearby Berwickshire coastline with various beaches and harbour towns which all link up together via the Berwickshire Coastal path and Coldingham, Eyemouth. Coastal activities include birdwatching and scuba diving at St Abbs and a sheltered sandy beach at Coldingham.

Despite Gavinton’s proximity to both Edinburgh and Newcastle, the area has a low population and can therefore offer a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.
