Craster and Dunstanburgh, our return

 Today we went to Craster for a (very nice!) lunch, then went to Dunstanburgh castle, we last visited in 2016 LINK

Here are todays pictures!

The harbour.
Over lunch we had seen a pod of Dolphins going North just beyond the sea wall...
...I couldn't catch any pics of them though!
Walking up towards Dunstanburgh Castle

















We finally reached the Castle.

The Barbican (a fortified gateway)
A look along the walls.



Sheer Drop! - you don't say!



Sadly, most of the curtain wall is gone.
The rear of the Barbicon.

A tower, or what is left of it!

















The view from the top of the Barbican.


We made our way down.





As we headed back to Craster and the car, we looked again at the castle in the evening light.




A lovely trip! I enjoyed it a lot, many thanks to Jonathan and Janet for taking me there!
