Ancroftの天然記念物・トップ11

Emmanuel Head is one of those quirky, unexpected gems on Holy Island. The stark white pyramid looks almost out of place at first, but it’s actually steeped in history – built in 1810, it’s the oldest surviving daymark in England. Sailors would have used it as a navigational aid to guide them safely around the island’s treacherous coast, long before modern lighthouses and GPS. The walk out there is lovely, with wide-open views across the dunes, sea and Lindisfarne Castle in the distance. Standing by it, with seabirds wheeling overhead and the waves rolling in, you really get a sense of the island’s long connection with the sea. A peaceful, slightly off-the-beaten-path highlight – and a great photo stop too!

beautifull island

definitely walk the pilgrim's way to Holy Island. it is muddy and slippery in places but you can walk it barefoot. I found walking poles essential in the mud.

Make sure you stay on the main path else it's easy to miss it

amazing experince, when you need to check tides time before any trip

The daymark on Emmanuel Head is a visual aid for boats navigating these waters. It's also a great target for a coastal run around the island. Look out for dolphins and seals out to sea.

Beautiful river that also forms the natural border between England and Scotland.

A small settelment on Holy Island accessed by a tidal causway so don't get stuck! The National Trust manage Lindisfarne Castle which is an amazing place to visit while you're here. There is also a ruined Benedictine Abbey. The island is great for sea birds and also has a seal population. The settelment has a small selection of cafes, pubs and a shop where you can get snacks, supplies or a meal.
