St Abbs Visitor Centre

Welcome to The St Abbs Visitor Centre

St Abbs is a small, picturesque fishing village situated at the foot of the St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve and adjacent to the St Abbs and Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve. The area is internationally important for its rugged landscape and wildlife, both above and below the waves.
 
The St Abbs Visitor Centre provides a natural starting point for every visitor to the Berwickshire coastline, whether you are here for walking, birdwatching, diving, fishing or just exploring.

Here you’ll discover the history and culture of St Abbs past and present through interactive displays and exhibits.
