Lashed by sea spray for centuries, the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle holds a haunting presence on the coastline, while the mystical Lindisfarne Castle and Priory – set on the Holy Island which was the Vikings’ first landing place and accessible via a vanishing tidal causeway – encapsulates the ancient spiritual significance of the region.
