Dunstanburgh Castle was built on the most magnificent scale, and rivalled any castle of its day. Its dramatic ruins 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.
