Lindisfarne - A Trip to Holy Island

During our Holiday in June 2023 we made a trip to Lindisfarne, Holy Island in Northumberland. As we were staying in Berwick Upon Tweed, we went by Bus. A whole day was sent on the island, and the food in the cafe was great.
Lindisfarne, also called Holy Island, and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, is a tidal island off the northeast coast of England, which constitutes the civil parish of Holy Island in Northumberland. Holy Island has a recorded history from the 6th century AD; it was an important centre of Celtic Christianity under Saints Aidan, Cuthbert, Eadfrith, and Eadberht of Lindisfarne. The island was originally home to a monastery, which was destroyed during the Viking invasions but re-established as a priory following the Norman Conquest of England. Other notable sites built on the island are St. Mary the Virgin parish church (originally built 635 AD and restored in 1860), Lindisfarne Castle, several lighthouses and other navigational markers, and a complex network of lime kilns. In the present day, the island is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a hotspot for historical tourism and bird watching. As of February 2020, the island had three pubs, a hotel and a post office.

Have you ever been to Castle Drogo on the edge of Dartmoor, Devon? You can see similarities in the architecture. Lutyens did that one as well. Have a great day
