Explore the Mystical History of Lindisfarne Castle
Cut off twice daily by tides, Holy Island boasts Lindisfarne Castle, a romantic ruined priory, and a picturesque village steeped in history. This iconic landmark in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, was transformed by architect Sir Edwin Lutyens into a private holiday home for Edward Hudson, founder of Country Life magazine.
Visitors can explore the summer-flowering garden designed by Gertrude Jekyll, 19th-century industrial lime kilns, shoreline walks, and a National Trust shop in the village. The elemental beauty of the island adds to its captivating charm. Check the tide timetable before visiting to ensure safe crossing times to this enchanting island.
