The ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle tower over the Northumberland coastline. It is an ideal family day out with a picnic area, fantastic views, and it is not far from the Scottish Borders. The Castle was built on the most magnificent scale, and rivalled any castle of its day. The dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle stand on a remote headland, reached by a beautiful coastal walk from nearby Craster. Visitors can explore the great gatehouse and the imposing Lilburn Tower, which commands stunning views north towards Bamburgh Castle. The magnificent sea views and unique location make this the perfect spot to escape from the stresses of modern life. Dunstanburgh Castle is owned by The National Trust, and maintained and managed by English Heritage. Entry is free to National Trust members and English Heritage members. Parking is in Craster, from where it's a picturesque 1.5 mile coastal walk to the castle.

A bracing walk along the coast to the castle from Craster, combined with lunch at The Jolly Fisherman - perfect!

A lovely walk from Craster to Dunstaburgh takes around 45 minutes. Unusually you can use a National Trust Card or English Heritage to explore and find out all about its fascinating history. Dogs are allowed in the grounds and the views are great. Walk back and enjoy a meal at The Jolly Fisherman.

Amazing castle ruins with a lovely walk to there from Craster. Finish off your walk with lunch or supper at the Jolly Fisherman in Craster. Worth booking.

Dunstanburgh Rd, Alnwick, NE66 3TT - 7.3 miles Dunstanburgh Castle is a 14th-century fortification on the coast of Northumberland, between Craster and Embleton. The castle was built by Earl Thomas of Lancaster between 1313 and 1322, who took advantage of the site's natural defences and the existing earthworks of an Iron Age fort. National Trust Site
