Craster is a fishing village located on the Northumberland coast, less than 10 miles from Doxford Cottages. When visiting Craster, a must-visit destination is L. Robson & Son’s kipper smokehouse – the kippers here are a delicacy and famously popular with the British Royal Family!
The Jolly Fisherman is also a firm favourite in the village for quality pub food and locally sourced seafood, with views across the coast.
Craster is also famously known as the gateway to Dunstanburgh Castle and Embleton Bay.
Enjoy a picturesque coastal walk from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle. The walk is around 1.5 miles with stunning coastal views along the way and was even named one of the top 10 UK coastal walks by The Times.
Dunstanburgh Castle towers over the coastline and is an ideal family day out when visiting Northumberland.
Just a 15-minute stroll from the castle you will also find the beautiful Embleton Bay, a small, curved, picture-perfect beach with views back towards Dunstanburgh Castle.
