Tips

There has been a castle here for 1400 years, since the Anglo Saxon Kings used it as the stronghold in Northumbria. The current castle sits on a 9 acre rocky plinth, it's one of the largest inhabited castles in the country.
You can visit the castle and the pretty village but some of the best views are from the beach.

An impressive and imposing castle that dominates the landscape and coastline... and amazingly it’s still intact!

To get the 'best' photo of the castle, don't look at it from the village side; go down the short lane called The Wynding, and step onto the beach, to look SE at the castle's grandeur!
If you're passing through, this is a detour of about 2 mins /500m!
