Riding of the Bounds Illustrated Map Print | Hand drawn Illustrations | Eco Art Print | A4 size

£24.00

A hand-drawn illustrated map celebrating one of Berwick-upon-Tweed's most beloved traditions — the Riding of the Bounds.

Every May, horses and riders follow an ancient route around the boundaries of Berwick, continuing a tradition that stretches back more than four hundred years. This map captures the full route alongside full-colour illustrations of the key moments that make the ride so special: riders gathering at the Barracks, the send-off from the Guildhall, the gallop, the lunchtime pause, and more. A hand-lettered title and descriptive text bring the story of the event to life on the page.

Whether you're a regular at the roadside or discovering the Riding of the Bounds for the first time, this print is a beautiful way to bring a piece of Berwick's living heritage into your home.

A portion of the proceeds from every sale is donated to the Berwick Riders Association, helping to keep this extraordinary tradition going.

  • Printing: Printed in the UK by an independent printer with strong ethical and environmental standards

Inspiration and Techniques

Many people's first introduction to Berwick-upon-Tweed is passing over the Royal Border Bridge when taking the train from London to Edinburgh. The Royal Border Bridge itself gives you an excellent view of Berwick's other two bridges - the 'Old' bridge - built at the behest of James I - and the 'New' Bridge - built almost 300 years later. All three bridges are architecturally distinct and represented the peak of engineering and technology at the times they were built.

This print features detailed pen and ink illustrations of elements of the three bridges, along with a hand-written name label and the date that the bridges were opened to the public.

Values

Sustainability is important to me and I source all of my art prints from an ethical and environmentally-responsible, UK-based company. This one has been printed on to a premium, heavy-weight paper made from sustainably-sourced eucalyptus pulp, using environmentally-friendly ink.

I don’t use any plastic in my packaging and there’s always a little extra something in your order as a thank you for supporting my small business.

A percentage of my profits goes to support a number of local charities that look after our built and natural environment here in North Northumberland.
