Craster, a jewel of the Northumberland coastline, presents a captivating blend of historical significance and natural beauty. This small, yet vibrant, fishing village has managed to preserve its traditional charm, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into a way of life deeply intertwined with the sea. Its location within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ensures that every vista is a postcard-perfect scene, where rugged shorelines meet the vast expanse of the North Sea. The air itself seems to carry the scent of salt and smoked fish, a testament to the village's enduring maritime heritage.

The heart of Craster beats within its working harbor, a place where fishing boats still set out to sea, carrying on a tradition that has sustained the community for generations. This harbor serves not only as a functional hub for the local fishing industry but also as a focal point for visitors, offering a glimpse into the daily rhythms of coastal life. From here, well-worn paths lead along the coastline, inviting exploration of the surrounding landscape. The most iconic of these paths leads to the imposing ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, a medieval fortress that stands sentinel against the elements. The castle's weathered stones and crumbling walls tell tales of centuries past, creating a sense of timelessness that permeates the entire area.

Craster is synonymous with its renowned kippers, a smoked herring delicacy that has gained international acclaim. The unique smoking process, passed down through generations, imparts a distinctive flavor that has made Craster kippers a culinary treasure. Visitors can savor this local specialty in the village's eateries, experiencing firsthand the taste of the sea and the craftsmanship of local producers. Beyond the kippers, the village offers a range of opportunities to enjoy fresh seafood, reflecting the abundance of the surrounding waters.

The tranquil atmosphere of Craster provides a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It's a place where time seems to slow down, allowing visitors to truly appreciate the simple pleasures of coastal living. The village's narrow streets and stone cottages exude a sense of history and community, while the surrounding landscape offers endless opportunities for exploration and contemplation. Whether strolling along the shoreline, exploring the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, or simply enjoying the views from the harbor, visitors to Craster are sure to be captivated by its enduring charm and natural splendor.
