About Dunstanburgh Castle

Dunstanburgh Castle, a dramatic ruined castle in an impressive coastal setting. This dominates a lonely stretch of Northumberland’s coastline and was once one of the largest and grandest fortifications in Northern England.

Dunstanburgh Castle is reached via a walk from the nearby village of Craster. The 2 km walk is along the rugged Northumberland Coast and crosses working farmland.
