Such a beautiful place. Don't get me wrong this is not a preserved castle in its original glory. However the history of the castle is very interesting. National Trust are the keepers of the castle and they have done a great job of the ruins. They keep the ruins as they are hence there won't be further erosion. The grounds the castle sits on is the true 5 . The views from here are worth the walk either from Craster or the road near the golf course. Either way you're looking at 1.5 miles walk. A definite jewel in English Heritage. A must visit if you're in the area. Interesting history on the castle itself too.
Well worth a visit. Although there isn’t any parking nearby, the mile or so walk up to the improving fortress gate is a lovely walk along the coastal path. There are toilets and a small shop where teas and coffees can be purchased by visitors. Although more challenging, the walk from Low Newton to Dunstanburgh Castle is one of the best walks in the area. Highly recommended.
Beautiful coastal walk across grassy terrain through livestock so dogs must be kept on the lead. About 1.5 miles. Although English Heritage managed National Trust members still have free access. Lovely walk around the ruins, you are able to climb to the top of one tower up a stone staircase with amazing views. Beverages are available but are limited at the moment. Car park in Quarry car park was £5 for three hours but is very popular it was full by the time we returned to the car at 1.15pm. Portable toilets and toilets at Tourist information at bottom of car park. Pub, dog friendly cafe and kipper smokehouse are available in Craster.
A One and a Third mile walk from the parking area. A trek not for the faint hearted. A mixture of grassy and rugged ground. Fine weather is a must. The walk takes in beautiful scenery of the rugged coast. The Castle itself is worth the visit, although largely a ruin is surrounded by beautiful views. Friendly and helpful staff. An English Heritage site. Toilet facilities are available. I do not recommended this site for anyone with mobility issues as it is a difficult trek.
Lovely castle to visit. Great coastal walk to this castle making some good views and picture spots. We saw a pod of dolphins just off the coast from here. The castle itself is impressive and is reasonably priced to enter. I would recommend walking all the way round to take in the views. Also, be sure to come at the castle from Embleton also, great view!
Fantastically atmospheric ruins in a beautiful coastal setting. One of the best ruined castles I've visited. Inside the grounds there are information boards detailing the castle's history, and steps leading up the tower. From the top there are excellent views inland and out over the sea, on a clear day it's possible to see Bamburgh Castle up the coast. The grounds are dog friendly. There's no road access to the castle, so park in Craster and enjoy the seaside walk to the castle - the approach yields some very impressive views. The nearest toilets are also in Craster.
Lovely caste. There's a walk of a few miles to get there. Not wheelchair friendly but you could probably wrestle a pushchair over the fields. There's a small shop at the caste for drinks and nick knacks. No running water on site, there's composting toilets but you can't wash your hands, sanitiser only.
Stunning coastal walk along the beach and fields with sheep, amazing views. It is worth going to the castle and climb up the tower to get even better view. Lots of birds to watch at the cliffs, occasionally possible to spot dolphins.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Castle ruins to walk around. Only accessible on foot from where you park. It's nice walk along a coastal path.it's not a hard walk, but is a good walk So please if you do have mobility problems check first. A lovely beach is visible further down the coast if you have longer there than we did to explore.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Lovely walk to the site along the coast. Rain was threatening but we managed to miss it. The castle ruins are impressive and there's a small shop in the middle with food/gifts. The castle area closed at 3pm so make sure you don't leave it too late.
