- Dunstanburgh Castle
Dunstanburgh seems to hold an invincible site on the basalt crag rearing up more than 100 ft from the sea. It is believed to have been a site for Roman and British strongholds but the existing castle was built in the 14th C by Thomas Earl of Lancaster who was executed for treason 9 years after he started the castle. The castle then went to John of Gaunt who added the surviving gateway. During the Wars of the Roses, Dunstanburgh castle changed hands five times, suffering great damage from bombardment and by 1538 it was in ruins. FREE POSTAGE on this item.(UK only)
