Dunstanburgh Castle walk from Craster

The walk from Craster follows the coast over grass and rock to the shell of Dunstanburgh Castle, which looks best from the north-west path as you approach. The castle is run by English Heritage and has a small entry charge. Go back via Embleton Bay if you want a longer loop.
