    Dunstanburgh Castle is about a km down the coast from this point but you can't really get there by road bike. You can view it from here or the road at Craster. It's worth a push or lock your bike and go and have a look. Great views of the castle from the beach here though if you just want a photo.
    The castle was begun in 1313 by the Earl of Lancaster who was opposed to King Edward II, unfortunatly for him he was defeated and didn't manage to return to the castle in 1322. The castle passed to John O Gaunt who strengthened it.
    It's now managed by English Heritage and is paid entry unless you are a member.
