Dunstanburgh Castle lies on a spectacular headland on the coast of Northumberland in northern England, between the villages of Craster and Embleton.
The castle is the largest in Northumberland[1] and the site shows traces of much earlier occupation before the erection of the castle was started in 1313 by the Earl of Lancaster[2].
There is no road to it and the easiest approach is along a grassy path from Craster, a distance of about a mile. Many visitors find the walk itself an important and pleasant part of the experience of visiting Dunstanburgh as it presents them with close-up coastal views as well as the castle looming in the visitors' sight as they near it.
