Holy Island Holy Island No Data

Description


Also known as Lindisfarne, the island was the birth place of the re-Christianisation of England. From the monks on the Island came the Lindisfarne gospel, possibly one of the most important books in the country. Today the island is steeped in history and heritage, and a wonderful place to explore with sandy beaches, low cliffs and lost of footpaths to wander along. Access to the island is via a causeway, and once it has flooded for the high tide the island relaxes into a quite and peaceful place with no vehicles moving around.

Getting There

From Berwick the 477 bus runs on certain days (one day a week in the Winter rising to daily during the height of summer). Buses are timed to ensure they can cross and get back before the tide comes in so the times vary greatly from day to day.
