Craster Northumberland Map

About Craster

Craster commands a windswept beauty on the Northumberland coast. It lies 9.7 km north-east of Alnwick (from Alnwick: bearing 46°T, OS grid NU 257 199), and is situated east of Dunstan village. The air here often carries the sharp, clean tang of the sea, a constant companion to the weathered stone cottages that cluster around the harbour. This small fishing port, still active today, draws its character from the ceaseless rhythm of the tides and the hardy folk who make their living from its waters, a tradition stretching back through generations. The dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, a sentinel on the headland, loom nearby, whispering tales of ancient conflicts and enduring resilience. Craster's very essence is intertwined with the raw, untamed landscape of the coast, where the sky often stretches in vast, unbroken expanses of shifting light.
