Jude and I spent last week on holiday in Northumberland. We went for a number of walks along the fabulous beaches along the coast and this was the first, around (most of) the island of Lindisfarne or Holy Island – so called because, in 635AD, St Aidan travelled there from Iona to set up a monastery.

The island is cut off from the mainland twice a day due to the tides, so you have to time your arrival and departure carefully. Luckily we were able cross around 10am and drive back again before 5:30pm. Just enough time to make the most of the glorious sunshine! 😊

  1. I have heard of this Island several times but it is actually the first time I am seeing photos of it. It looks like a great day out.

      Yes, it’s a lovely, peaceful place. It’s the end (or start) point for the St Cuthbert’s Way and St Oswald’s Way. Though I doubt you will tackling either in the short term. Félicitations on your new arrival. 😊
