	Dunstanburgh Castle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dunstanburgh Castle lies on a spectacular headland on the coast of Northumberland in northern England, between the villages of Craster and Embleton.
		Approaching the castle from the south, there are signs of medieval rig-and-furrow on the slope leading up to it probably to grow food to provide sustenance for the inhabitants and inside there are the remains of an oven, there is a well and foundations of what was possibly a farm.
		The castle was not always fenced in and it could be an eerie experience to walk over the inner ward on a dark night, particularly scary when a sheep sheltering in the ruins might dash suddenly across the grass.

		The castle was built between 1313 and 1325 for Thomas Earl of Lancaster, nephew of King Edward II.
		The main feature of the castle is the massive gatehouse, which guarded the entrance to a large area enclosed by walls that would have offered good protection to local villagers, their animals and possessions, in the event of a raid from the Scots.
		Dunstanburgh Castle was a Lancastrian stronghold during the Wars of the Roses (1455 - 1485), and suffered heavy damage from cannon, leaving the castle in ruins.

		The castle is steeped in history and haunted by several famous ghosts.
		The atmosphere was rather oppressive but we walked all throughout the castle before heading back to the main courtyard to sit silently on one of the many benches waiting, and hoping to hear or see something.
		The lights from the castle seemed to be far too bright for a torch but were irregular so couldn’t be the lighthouse that is behind the castle, if the lighthouse light could be viewed from where we were now surely Ryan and I would have seen in on Friday night when it was darker.

		There are remains of other parts of the castle, the surrounding wall to keep the Scots out and the livestock in, and parts of the residences built in John of Gaunt's time, although many of the interior buildings would have been wooden, leaving no trace on the surface.
		Further along the curtain wall is the Constable's Tower, a high quality residence befitting the importance of the keeper of the castle in the absence of the lord.
		The state of the castle today is the result of Yorkist slighting after the siege, some shoddy building, years of neglect and bad weather and the removal of stone and lead for building elsewhere.
