Shhh - Unveiling The Secrets Of Holy Island (Lindisfarne) - ACROSS The Causeway

Join me on an adventure as we unveil the hidden secrets of Holy Island, also known as Lindisfarne!

Our journey begins with a drive across The Causeway, but be warned, timing is everything - you don't want to get caught by the tide!

We'll delve into the charming village, exploring its rich history before stepping back in time at the magnificent St. Mary's Church, some parts dating back a 1000 years. Next, we'll uncover the secrets of the Holy Island Priory, built upon the very foundation of the original monastery established by St. Aidan himself in 634 AD, tragically destroyed by Vikings long ago.

Then we'll explore Holy Island's harbour. To top it all off, we'll embark on a climb to the imposing Lindisfarne Castle, perched atop a dramatic rocky crag. Built by Henry VIII in the 1540s, this historic lHoly Island Castle was later transformed into a stunning holiday home by the renowned architect Edwin Lutyens in the early 20th century.

Get ready to be transported to a world of history, mystery, and breathtaking scenery!
