Overnight on Lindisfarne The Holy Island of Northumberland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Lindisfarne, also called Holy Island, is a tidal island off the northeast coast of England, which constitutes the civil parish of Holy Island in Northumberland
Aidan, the first Bishop of Lindisfarne, an Irish-Celtic monk from the Scottish isle of Iona, travelled widely throughout Northumbria and with the help of King Oswald as interpreter, began the conversion of the pagan Northumbrians to Christianity.

Have you been to Holy Island? is so what did you like or dislike? did you get trapped by the tide?

Thanks for showing Lindisfarne to us. Alas, it would have been interesting if you would have thrown some light on the Viking invasion of the abby. Where did they land and what did they do there? Seems to me that the very name of the island is of Scandinavian origin.

I never call it "Holy Island" its ancient name of Lindisfarne is beautiful and good enough for me.

Thanks for showing us Holy Island. Lindisfarne appears to be a name of Scandinavian descent and a place where the Vikings first landed in England. It would have been interesting if you could have pointed out where the 'experts' think the Norsemen landed and where did they go? What did they do there? I got the impression the Vikings slaughtered some monks.

it isnt an impression, they destroyed the place and robbed it
