The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is a tidal island off the northeast coast of England. It is also known just as Holy Island. It 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 of Lindisfarne, Cuthbert, Eadfrith of Lindisfarne and Eadberht of Lindisfarne. After the Viking invasions and the Norman conquest of England, a priory was reestablished. A small castle was built on the island in 1550.
The island measures 3 miles (4.8 km) from east to west and 1 1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) from north to south, and comprises approximately 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) at high tide. The nearest point of the island is about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the mainland of England. The island of Lindisfarne is located along the northeast coast of England, close to the border with Scotland. It is accessible, most times, at low tide by crossing sand and mudflats which are covered with water at high tides. These sand and mud flats carry an ancient pilgrims' path, and in more recent times, a modern causeway. Lindisfarne is surrounded by the 8,750-acre (3,540 ha) Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, which protects the island's sand dunes and the adjacent intertidal habitats.
Trinity House operates two lighthouses to guide vessels entering Holy Island Harbour, named Guile Point East and Heugh Hill. The former is one of a pair of stone obelisks standing on a small tidal island on the other side of the channel. The obelisks are leading marks which, when aligned, indicate the safe channel over the bar. When Heugh Hill bears 310° (in line with the church belfry) the bar is cleared and there is a clear run into the harbour. Since the early 1990s, a sector light has been fixed to it about one-third of the way up Guile Point East. The latter is a metal framework tower with a black triangular day mark, situated on a ridge on the south edge of Lindisfarne. Before November 1995 both were owned/operated by Newcastle-upon-Tyne Trinity House.
The monastery of Lindisfarne was founded by Irish monk Saint Aidan, who had been sent from Iona off the west coast of Scotland to Northumbria at the request of King Oswald. The priory was founded before the end of 634 and Aidan remained there until his death in 651.
Lindisfarne also has the small Lindisfarne Castle, based on a Tudor fort, which was refurbished in the Arts and Crafts style by Sir Edwin Lutyens for the editor of Country Life, Edward Hudson. Lutyens also designed the island's Celtic-cross war-memorial on the Heugh. Lutyens' upturned herring buses near the foreshore provided the inspiration for Spanish architect Enric Miralles' Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh.
Tourism grew steadily throughout the 20th century, and the isle of Lindisfarne is now a popular destination for visitors to the area. Those tourists staying on the island while it is cut off by the tide experience the island in a much quieter state, as most day trippers leave before the tide rises. At low tide it is possible to walk across the sands following an ancient route known as Pilgrims' Way

Holy Island (Lindisfarne) Coast Path, North Northumberland ©
Welcome to Rucksack Rose - The Outdoors Channel. Read more at
This is a 6.8 mile leisurely, circular route beginning and ending at the car park which follows the coastline of the island from the harbour, past Edward Luton's famous castle to the nature reserve and the unspoilt north shore of the island and the remains of the lime quarry to the snook where the island becomes tidal. It then follows the causeway road back into the village and your starting point. It involves a lot of walking on dunes and sand and is fairly level, the largest climbs being the sand dunes. There are a couple of sections which involve walking across stony sections of beach. If you are visiting the island you must always check the tide times to ensure that you can get on and off the island. There are some facilities in the village including a visitor centre, a few shops, a post office, pubs and a cafe.
A GPS download of this walk is available from my Viewranger profile:
Wherever you go stay safe, check the weather, plan ahead, let people know where you are going, take maps & compass with your gps and follow the countryside or access codes for where you are.
Music / Sound: The birdsong was recorded near the farm to the north of the village on the day of the walk in mid February.

Lindisfarne Nature Reserve - Guile Point, Ross Bank Sands
Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve is located on the North Northumberland coastline of England. It is located about 10 miles (16 km) south of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Lindisfarne is sign-posted from the A1 highway south of Berwick-upon-Tweed. There are car parks available on the isle of Lindisfarne (Holy Island), at Budle Bay, and at Beal, on the mainland of England. The landscape consists of tidal mudflats, saltmarshes and dunes which combine to create a place which is home to fascinating plants and to a food supply that attracts bird visitors from thousands of miles away.
Main habitats: coastal - intertidal mudflats, rocky shore, sand dunes and saltmarsh
The reserve protects a long stretch of coast, including the dunes of Holy Island - the birds and animal calls in the distance are oystercatchers and seals.
The two towers in the foreground are navigation beacons constructed in the 19th century; in the distance one can see Holy Island and it's historic castle (undergoing renovation at the time of filming).

Short Walk around Holy Island (Lindisfarne), North Northumberland. ©
Welcome to Rucksack Rose - The Outdoors Channel. Read more at
This is a short 4 mile circular walk around the interior of the island which takes in the harbour, Lindisfarne Castle, the lime kilns, the bird and nature reserves, the dunes and a local farm. The lowering sky was genuine as it was a very dark day without rain. Visitors to the island should always check the tide times to ensure they can get on and off the island at low tide. There are several main routes around the island but this is a good route if you only have limited time as it gives a broad cross section of the many aspects of island life and there are shops, pubs and cafes in the village at the end.This video was filmed out of season in February but even in summer the majority of the many tourists who visit the island don't venture further than the village and the castle. There is an easy diversion to the beach from the gate where the route turns back towards the village. A GPS download of this walk is available from my Viewranger profile:
Wherever you go stay safe, check the weather, plan ahead, let people know where you are going, take maps & compass with your gps and follow the countryside or access codes for where you are.
Music / Sound: Recorded on the day of the walk by the farm to the north of the village.

Budle Bay: Northumberland
Shot between September to October 2017 on one of the most beautiful and tranquil stretches of the Northumberland Coast. With nothing more than the sound of the gentle surf and the call of nature, Budle Bay has to be Northumberland's piece of heaven.
More videos of photography from around Northumberland will be uploaded soon. Subscribe to view updates.

Budle Bay is a 1 mile (1.6 km) wide bay on the North Sea in Northumberland, England, between Bamburgh to the southeast and Lindisfarne to the northwest.
The bay is roughly square in plan opening to the North Sea along its northeastern side. Budle Point forms its eastern extremity. It is overlooked by Bamburgh Castle Golf Club at this point and by the Northumberland Coast Path and St Oswald's Way which share a common route in this vicinity. Waren Burn enters the bay at its southern corner whilst Ross Low, a smaller burn enters from the western corner. The two streams meet in the intertidal zone and continue east to the low water mark as Budle Water. The bay forms a part of the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve. It is also a part of the Goswick-Holy Island-Budle Bay GCR site[1] These are sites listed in the Geological Conservation Review as being of national importance; in this case for its coastal geomorphology.
it is underlain by limestone and other rock types of the Alston Formation though these are not exposed except along parts of its southeastern shore. The quartz-microgabbro of the Whin Sill occupies the higher ground on this southeastern side of the bay. There are extensive deposits of blown sand forming Ross Links at the opposite side of the bay and much of the bedrock on the southeastern side is obscured by similar dune deposits.
