Craster and Dunstanburgh Castle

Weather: Overcast, breezy and cool
Start/Finish: Craster Harbour, Northumberland
Terrain: Firm ground across farmland or across a rocky shoreline
Distance: 2.5 miles


Dunstanburgh Castle from CrasterThis is about as simple as a walk can get... from Craster harbour, head North through a gate onto grazing land. Here a National Trust sign explains what lies ahead - basically a well trodden route along the coastline through the fields to the remains of the castle, just over a mile away. There is an alternative way back beyond the castle of about 4 miles, but we simply headed back along the same route to Craster.
