St Abbs is a charming coastal village nestled in the Scottish Borders, it offers a picturesque blend of natural beauty and cinematic history.

Its idyllic harbour, dotted with colourful boats, creates a serene and inviting atmosphere.

The village's claim to fame lies in its connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the filming location for New Asgard in Thor: Ragnarok, St Abbs transformed into a mythical realm on screen. Fans of the film will delight in exploring the picturesque streets and imagining the adventures of Thor and Valkyrie.

While the iconic "Twinned with New Asgard" sign may no longer be in place as someone has stolen it, the village's friendly locals and the visitors centre staff ensure that visitors can still capture memorable moments as the centre's cardboard replica of the sign is a thoughtful gesture that allows fans to recreate the iconic photo opportunity.

Beyond its cinematic allure, St Abbs offers a tranquil escape for nature lovers. The surrounding cliffs provide stunning coastal walks, while the nearby St Abbs Head National Nature Reserve is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including puffins and seals.

Whether you're a Marvel enthusiast or simply seeking a peaceful coastal getaway, St Abbs is a must-visit destination. Its picturesque harbour, friendly locals, and cinematic history make it a truly...

The cafe was very good, it serves hot and cold food, from 10am until 3.30pm, we had 3 bowls of chowder, and 3 drinks, for about £20. There is a small camp site at the top of the hill, less than a mile away, as we walked past we noticed there were showers and a toilet block, it also had EHU, we'll probably stay...
