The picturesque village of Craster is a short walk down a footpath, through woods and fields. The tiny horseshoe-shaped harbour was built to commemorate a member of the Craster family, associated with the area since the 12th century. The fishing industry is still the mainstay of the village economy. Nowadays, crabs and lobsters are the chief catch and the smokehouse, run by the Robson family since 1905, produces the famous Craster kippers. Enjoy exhilarating coastal walks past dramatic scenery, including to the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Alnwick Castle and Gardens are 7 miles, with Warkworth Castle, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, the Farne Islands and the Cheviot Hills within easy reach. Superb beaches offer sand-yachting at Bamburgh, jet-skiing at Beadnell and castle-building at Embleton. Outstanding opportunities for ramblers and bird watchers. Five golf courses within 20 minutes drive.
