An Island Castle…..

Lindisfarne Castle, Holy Island, Northumberland

Lindisfarne Castle, on Holy Island, one of the larger Farne Isles and linked to the mainland via a tide regulated Causeway.

The Castle origins date back to the 16th century. But in more recent times it was re-modelled in the Arts and Craft’s Style by the renowned Architect Edward Lutyens.

Built on Holy Islands highest point, it provides great views over the North Sea and even better views of the Northumberland Coast. Well worth a visit… but check the tide tables, you can get marooned 🙂

Wherever you are…enjoy your day…. and….

Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

  2. You would enjoy…. Holy Island, like just about all Islands, is full of character. Apart from the Castle, Lindisfarne Abbey is also special. Just check the tide tables before you drive across. I have staid overnight on a couple of occasions, once the tourist vanish it is even more magical. But if in the area a trip to the Farne Islands is also must. 🙂
