Holy Island (Lindisfarne), Northumberland, UK

Holy Island, also known as Lindisfarne, is a tidal island located off the northeast coast of Northumberland, England. It is renowned for its rich history, religious significance, and picturesque scenery.

Historical Significance

The island is famous for the founding of the Lindisfarne Priory in the 7th century, which became a centre of Christian learning and culture. It played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity in Britain. The island's monastery was an important religious site until its dissolution in the 16th century during the Reformation.

Religious Heritage

Lindisfarne is associated with Saint Cuthbert and the Lindisfarne Gospels, an illuminated manuscript produced around the 8th century. The island remains a place of pilgrimage and spiritual significance, with the priory ruins and the modern Holy Island Parish Church attracting visitors and worshippers alike.

Geography and Access

The island is accessible by a causeway that is covered at high tide, making access possible only during low tide. Visitors need to check tide times before planning their visit to avoid being stranded. The landscape features rugged coastlines, sandy beaches, and farmland.
