The crossing of the tidal causeway to Lindisfarne starts here. The England Coast Path, St Cuthbert's Way and St Oswald's Way long-distance trails also follow this route. The Northumberland Coast Path doesn't officially cross to Holy Island, but it's a nice detour to add if you don't mind the extra distance.

Crossing takes about two hours on foot, so it's really important to check the tides before starting. Ideally, start about two hours before low tide to give yourself the maximum crossing time. The tide comes in quicker than you can run, so don't chance it.

The Lindisfarne Causeway is an adventure in itself! Driving (or walking) across the tidal road to Holy Island feels magical – like heading into another world. At low tide, the road stretches out across the sands with incredible views of the sea and sky, while at high tide it disappears completely under the water. The tide tables are essential, but that’s part of the fun – it makes visiting Holy Island feel even more special and unique. There’s also the Pilgrim’s Path across the sands if you fancy something a bit more adventurous on foot. A truly unforgettable way to arrive at such a historic and beautiful place!
