St Cuthbert’s Cave is a wonderful cave shrouded in folklore. There are two stories as to why it is associated with St Cuthbert (634 – 687 AD), a Northumbrian hermit, monk, and bishop who was the pre-eminent English saint for more than 500 years. One is that monks carrying St Cuthbert's body from Lindisfarne took refuge here. Another is that Cuthbert was a hermit here before moving to the Farne Islands. It is possible that both stories are true.
