A Visit to Lindisfarne, UK

On a recent visit to Northumberland, we called in at Lindisfarne (also known as Holy Island) which, is a small island off the northeast coast of England. We had the opportunity to visit the ruins of the Lindisfarne Priory.

The priory was founded in the 7th century by Aidan, an Irish monk who was sent as a missionary to Northumbria by the king of Iona. Source The red poppies added a nice touch.

We didn’t go to Lindisfarne Castle but we saw it in the distance. It was built in the 16th century to defend against Scottish raids.

The castle was once a military stronghold and a private residence before being taken over by the National Trust and then opened to the public. Source

Afterwards, we had a stroll around the harbour, which is known for its many old upturned herring boats, which are now used as storage huts.

We then visited the 'Lookout Tower', which is a former coastguard tower and is now used as a viewing platform, which gives you lovely views over the island and far out to sea. At low tide, you can see the grey seals on the sand banks. It was a perfect place for a stroll.
