Dunstanburgh


The Grail is hidden here, guarded, tradition says, by a knight called Sir Guy the Seeker.

On the Northumberland coast in northeastern England there is a fourteenth-century stronghold called Dunstanburgh Castle. While there may have been earlier, possibly Roman or medieval, occupation in the broader vicinity, the direct connection to a settlement at the precise location of Dunstanburgh Castle in the earlier centuries is not well-documented.
