Holy Island

The isle of Lindisfarne is a tidal island off the north-east coast of England. It is also known as Holy Island and constitutes a civil parish in Northumberland. Standing on a rocky outcrop overlooking the island is Lindisfarne Castle, a small fortress first built in 1550. The only way across to the island is to use a causeway, although you must remember to check the tidal times before you set off.


The island is a great place to visit, but not if it's windy. Our visit was cut short due to nearly being blown over once or twice and nearly losing the wife into the sea.
