Our time at Queen Margaret's Cove
Well... there's not much to add. We visited the castle and if you walk down towards the sea once inside you get a good view. You can actually imagine a boat docked here ready for an escape to a nearby ship.

Good to Know
Queen Margaret's Cove is a small cove below Dunstanburgh Castle. Local legend says Margaret of Anjou, queen to Henry VI, escaped from the castle by boat from here during the Wars of the Roses.
Why it's on our list: it's a lovely piece of folklore to go with the castle, and the cove is a dramatic sight from the walls above.
