View of Dunstanburgh Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

The castle itself is located directly on the coast and not on the North Sea coast cycle path. Nevertheless, from this route you have a beautiful view of the castle ruins in the distance.

Embleton is a pretty village, with a number of pubs and a Post Office/Shop. A short detour down the lane heading east (for a few hundred metres) gives access to the beautiful Embleton Bay, with views back to Dunstanburgh Castle.

Eleanor's Byre

Highlight • Cafe

Lovely gift shop with a cafe serving hot drinks and a small selection of cakes.

There's only a few tables so probably best as a takeaway stop if you are cycling past.
