We had to pass some cows on the way to the top, we had no option but to walk past them, they just gave us a brief look but we were slightly nervous of our bovine audience, especially with having the dog with us, so we clambered the very steep slope above them to avoid a stampede, but they just ignored us and carried on chewing. As we walked nearer the castle it seemed to be getting further away, a strange optical illusion. The castle looked fantastic in the distance, sitting there on the basalt above the sea, it looked like something from a children’s fairy-tale. We had to walk across two farmers fields and down a long country lane that was never ending until we reached the coastline, a golf course ran alongside it. The castle looked near but it would be a 4 mile walk there and back. The evening was drawing in and we decided to pay Dunstanburgh Castle a visit.
