The name

Embleton Road probably takes its name from Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course, Embleton. The ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle loom over the links, which were laid out in 1900 and later redesigned by James Braid.

Where the club's facts come from: The Golf Links, Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course, the club's own history.

How sure we are of the match: Likely

The estate's streets were named after golf courses. The streets page explains how each match was made.

We have not yet found anything written about this street itself. If you know when it was built or who first lived there, that would help.
