Welcome to Cockburnspath & Cove

Nestled along the beautiful Berwickshire coastline in the Scottish Borders, the villages of Cockburnspath and Cove offer a unique blend of rural charm, coastal beauty, and strong community spirit. Surrounded by rolling countryside and dramatic sea views, our villages are a peaceful place to live, work, and visit.

Cockburnspath sits just inland, with a rich history and a welcoming atmosphere that reflects the close-knit nature of the community. A short distance away, Cove is perched on the cliffs overlooking the North Sea, known for its breathtaking scenery and quiet coastal character. Together, the two villages form a vibrant and supportive local community.

At the heart of village life are a number of valued local facilities. Our village shop provides everyday essentials and serves as a friendly meeting point for residents and visitors alike. The local nursery and school play an important role in the community, offering a nurturing environment for children and helping to bring families together.

The village hall is a central hub for events, activities, and gatherings throughout the year. From community meetings to social events, it plays a vital role in keeping village life active and connected. Meanwhile, the bowling club offers a great opportunity for recreation and socialising, welcoming players of all ages and abilities.

Whether you are passing through, considering a visit, or thinking of making Cockburnspath and Cove your home, you will find a warm welcome and a strong sense of community. With stunning surroundings and a rich local life, our villages are truly special places to be.
