About 5 miles due east of Paxton is the market town of Berwick upon Tweed.

There is a main line railway station which has regular trains to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London, both Edinburgh and Newcastle are sub one hour travel time and London is circa 3 hours 45 minutes. There is also the A1 trunk road which bypasses the town and provides easy access to both north and south respectively.
