Craster, Fishing village in Northumberland, England
The harbor area features local fishing boats, stone piers, and a collection of traditional buildings overlooking the North Sea coastline.
The village harbor was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century as a memorial to Captain Charles Craster, who died during the Tibet expedition.
Craster maintains its reputation for producing smoked herring, with the local smokehouse continuing traditional methods of preparing the renowned kippers.
Visitors can access the village by local bus services from Alnwick, with parking facilities available near the harbor entrance.
The harbor contains remains of industrial silos used for storing crushed rock from local quarries before loading onto coastal trading vessels.
