The ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle dominate the Northumberland coastline. With a picnic area and beautiful vistas, it’s a fantastic destination for a family day out, and it’s not far from the Scottish Borders.
The Castle was built on a great scale that rivalled any of the time’s castles. The magnificent ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle are located on an isolated point accessible only by a delightful beach stroll from Craster.
Visitors are welcome to explore the beautiful gatehouse and the imposing Lilburn Tower, which offers spectacular views northward towards Bamburgh Castle. The stunning sea views and unique environment make this the ideal spot to relax and unwind from the stresses of modern life.
Dunstanburgh Castle is owned by the National Trust and is maintained and managed by English Heritage. Members of the National Trust and English Heritage are entitled to free admission. Craster has parking, and from there, a picturesque 1.5-mile coastline walk leads to the castle.
