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.

Holy Island is what many Northumbrians call the island of Lindisfarne. This is a short 4.5 mile circular walk around the interior of the island which takes in the harbour, Lindisfarne Castle, the lime kilns, the bird and nature reserves, and the dunes. This walk included an detour to the North Shore beach across the dunes from the gate where the route turns back towards the village. There are shops, pubs and cafes in the village.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 explore beyond the castle. Visitors should always check the tide times to ensure they can get on and off the island at low tide. There is no camping permitted on the island.
