Area:
Craster is one of Northumberland's most picturesque and sought-after coastal villages, renowned for its dramatic scenery, rich seafaring heritage and exceptional quality of life. Nestled within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village enjoys an enviable position overlooking the North Sea, with a charming harbour, traditional stone cottages and an atmosphere that has remained largely unchanged for generations.

Famous throughout the country for its smoked kippers, Craster is home to the renowned smokehouse established by the Robson family in the nineteenth century. The village also boasts a well-regarded public house, café and local amenities, all contributing to its vibrant yet unspoilt character.

The surrounding coastline is widely regarded as some of the finest in England. Spectacular coastal walks lead directly from the village to the iconic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, one of Northumberland's most celebrated landmarks, while miles of sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and abundant wildlife provide endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

Despite its tranquil setting, Craster is conveniently located for access to the market town of Alnwick, approximately 7 miles away, offering an extensive range of shops, restaurants, schooling and leisure facilities. The wider region is rich in history and natural beauty, with Bamburgh Castle, the Farne Islands and the Cheviot Hills all within easy reach.

Combining breathtaking coastal scenery, historic charm and a strong sense of community, Craster represents a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the North East's most desirable seaside locations.
