The tiny horseshoe shaped harbour was built to commemorate a member of the Craster family, which has been associated with the area since the early 12th century. The fishing industry has for centuries been the mainstay of the village economy. Nowadays crabs and lobsters are the chief catch. The smokehouse, run by the Robson family since 1905, is at the heart of the village. This is where herring are smoked to produce the renowned Craster kippers.

Warkworth Castle, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, the Farne Islands and the Cheviot Hills are all within easy reach.
