The Holy Island of Lindisfarne commonly known as either Holy Island or Lindisfarne,is a tidal island off the northeast coast of England, which constitutes the civil parish of Holy Island in Northumberland. Holy Island has a recorded history from the 6th century AD; it was an important centre of Celtic Christianity under Saints Aidan of Lindisfarne, Cuthbert, Eadfrith of Lindisfarne and Eadberht of Lindisfarne. After the Viking invasions and the Norman conquest of England, a priory was reestablished. A small castle was built on the island in 1550.
A detailed history of Lindisfarne can be found on the Wikipedia site.
Many thanks for all your views,comments and favs,always much appreciated.
Lindisfarne has a sort of mystery I think. Always a bit of excitement & daring seeing if you get back before the tide cuts you off. I can remember when I was a child my dad, who was from that part of the world & rather more relaxed about such things, driving back across with the car wheels in water. Scary.
