The Storied Lands : Review & Tips

 AD - This post is based on a press preview visit and a regular visit on the first day they were open to the public as well as previous visits to Kynren. As always, information can change so it's super important you check with the venue itself for the most up to date information when booking. Kynren has less than 250 employees and this post complies with HFSS guidance. 

The Storied Lands is a much-anticipated live action day time park that takes you on a whirlwind tour of history. It shares the same site as our fantastic Kynren evening show and is open every day except Mondays until 12 September 2026 (and will then take a break over winter and re-open next summer).

Is This The Most Scenic Walk in Northumberland?

We absolutely love the walk from Craster Village to Dunstanburgh Castle and back. It’s 30 minutes each way, offers beautiful views of the coastline and there’s a fantastic beer garden with sea views, smokehouse and a playground at the end. What’s not to love?

The walk is super easy to follow - simply keep the sea on your right hand side and walk towards the castle then when you’re ready, turn around and head back into the village where you’ll find the pub, smokehouse and playground. You can easily extend your walk in both directions. Just keep walking -  it’s part of the England Coastal Path.
