Castellum

The word castle is derived from the Latin word castellum, meaning fortified place.

Constructed in 1313 Dunstanburgh Castle is an evocative medieval castle, which can be reached by a mile-long footpath along the coast from Embleton to the North, or a slightly longer path from Craster to the South.

It sits in a stunning location, with sheer cliffs on the seaward side and crumbling ruinous towers.

JMW Turner painted the castle several times

Not my usual time of day to take a capture but as I was doing a rekki I thought why not.
