The ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle in the distance, some of the houses overlooking Craster harbour in the foreground.
Watercolour and pencil drawing of the ruins of a medieval castle in the background. A Second World War pillbox on the edge of a small hill in the middle ground and valley with stone outcrops that look like pillars in the foreground.
A pen sketch of a square pillbox made of prefabricated components sited on the edge of a hill overlooking a narrow defile with upland in the background to the left and open ground to the right.

The gorgeous Dunstanburgh Castle may be a ruin, but it’s magnificent nonetheless. A medieval stronghold since at least the 13th C, the castle dominates #Northumberland coast between Embleton and #Craster. Lunch at The Jolly Fisherman was amazing too. My daughter and I had the best day out.
📸 my own.
@seawindowcraster.bsky.social apologies unscheduled stop off after a Boulmer walk, still ... this should beat your Monthly #craster picture. #Cheers Mick
My newest work on the easel, 'Catching the light, Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus)' painted in watercolor and gouache.
This piece is part of my ongoing series exploring sea life 🐟🐟🐟

Small fishing boats hauled up in the harbour of Craster, Northumberland. The location, in North East England, is famed for its smoked kippers.
Craster, on the Northumberland Coast, is a bit of a Mecca for connoisseurs of kippers (herring fish that has been cold-smoked). The small pretty fishing village is also a great place for walks along the scenic coastline.

Smoked kippers on the cards too #Craster

Flying visit to #Craster today. Had a taste of #Northumberland restless weather - bright sunshine one minute, then grey and raining 20 minutes later!
Celebrating 1 year of being cancer-free today. xx

Mechanics Institute on Percy Street in Alnwick - https://alnwickcivicsociety.org.uk/2020/08/27/mechanics-institute/ - The building, as many are in the town, is an impressive build in sandstone though the sloping door columns are what really caught my eye. The plaque by the door reads: Mechanics Institute, Erected 1831 by public subscription for 'diffusing knowledge among artisans'
Could I have moved the green wheelie bin? yes, though that is how I found it & in my urbexing I like to leave nothing but footprints & take nothing but photos - so authenticity is the rule & I'd have had to wheel it back. I just liked the weather worn red paint & the triple terraced stone steps leading to the Corn Exchange building itself. There were many little alleys leading off a main street between buildings. The little bushel insignia above the clock gives a clue to the building if the gold title at the foot of the façade didn't give it away: Corn Exchange Lane.
Dunstanburgh Castle ruin framed by the rectangular hole in the south pier sea wall. https://co-curate.ncl.ac.uk/craster-harbour/ Apparently the structure was part of a rope apparatus for transporting stone from the quarry - now a car park - about 500m away.
Craster harbour looking north towards Dunstanburgh Castle - current population is 305 ( last census ) & a little memorial in the village near the slipway remembers the 21 local people who dies in WW1 & WW2 - a very significant number for such a sparsely populated region. Caster is on the Castle Route - a road I like to drive - and passes through & along some fine sandy beaches & high dunes. It's the North East so even in summer in unsheltered spots the wind can chill you, sheltered it can be epic & one of my favourite places. https://www.visitnorthumberland.com/explore/destinations/castles
Little jaunt up to #Northumberland yesterday #Alnwick & #Craster get my steps in & take some #streeptphotography images.
The two doorways are in Alnwick & I particularly liked the MI building & entrance.
In Craster I used the concrete gap in the sea wall to frame #DunstanburghCastle
