The Holy Island of Lindisfarne

Distance: 4.82km
Ascent: 52m
Duration: 2 Hours

The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is a place I have wanted to visit for many years and today was the day I finally stepped foot on this wonderful island. We headed out on a lovely short walk visiting the priory and castle.

Down along the coast there was a view over to a small island with a cross on it. This was the location of a small chapel.

Approaching the castle. It is in the care of the National Trust but unfortunately not open today.

Bamburgh Castle miles down the coast. We headed over there later in the afternoon.
