Photos of Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland.

Dunstanburgh Castle occupies one of the most dramatic locations of any castle in Northumberland, perched on a headland just north of Craster.

The Castle was built in the reign of Edward II, by the Earl of Lancaster, High Sherriff of England who was executed as a traitor before it was finished.

It was badly damaged during the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century and has remained a ruin ever since.

The ghost of the Earl of Lancaster is said to haunt the Castle ruins along with another ghost - Sir Guy the Seeker.

The Castle can be approached by a footpath from Craster.
