Description
The ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle lie on the coast of
Northumberland between the fishing village of Craster and
Embleton, a dramatic ruin on the skyline. The castle was
begun in the early 14th century by the Earl of Lancaster and
passed to John of Gaunt in the latter part of that century.
He extended the castle and its protective walls considerably
and, in its heyday, Dunstanburgh was considered one of the
largest and finest castles in the north-east of England.
