The village of Embleton can be found on Northumberland's Heritage Coastline, close to the magnificent ruin of Dunstanburgh Castle. Embleton has a fascinating history, which stretches back to pre-medieval times. During the Wars of the Roses, the village suffered frequent invasion attempts by the Scots, and much later, in the 19th century, it was famous for its whinstone quarry. To this day a curving whinstone ridge provides shelter from the east winds. The history of the parish is the focus of the new Heritage Trails Project, which has led to several walks being designed in and around Embleton. The village has several excellent pubs and a fine Norman church. As well as the Dunstanburgh ruin, there are many other local attractions to entice visitors. These include the gardens at Howick Hall and Alnwick Castle and Garden. Among the excellent golf courses in the vicinity is the Dunstanburgh Links Course.
