    Tips

    Hiking

    Lindisfarne Castle is a fantastic place to visit. It is an Edwardian holiday home created from an old abandoned Tudor Fort built by Henry VIII to protect Holy Island harbour from potential Scots and French invaders. Cracking views over to Bamburgh and the Farne Islands and back across to Lindisfarne Abbey.

    Hiking

    Beware of the causeway to the island. Due to the strong tides (4m tidal range!), the access road to the island is only passable half the time. Access times can be found at holyislandcrossingtimes.northumberland.gov.uk
