Must See - Things to do on Holy Island

Check the safe crossing times before you set off - the island is cut off by the tide twice a day. https://holyislandcrossingtimes.northumberland.gov.uk/
Lindisfarne Priory - where St Aidan founded his monastery in 635, with a museum on site. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/lindisfarne-priory/
Lindisfarne Castle and Gertrude Jekyll's walled garden - allow an hour or two, and see the lime kilns beside the castle. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/north-east/lindisfarne-castle
The Pilgrims' Way - walk barefoot across the sands following the line of posts. Only start on a falling tide.
St Aidan's Winery - try a sample of Lindisfarne Mead and take a bottle home. https://www.lindisfarnemead.com/
The north shore and Emmanuel Head - empty beaches, dunes and grey seals on the sandbanks.
