Holy Island

Holy Island, also known as Lindisfarne, is a small tidal island off the northeast coast of England. It is renowned for its rich religious history, notably the early Christian monastery founded in the 7th century, which played a key role in the spread of Christianity in Britain. Access to the island is dependent on the tide; a causeway reveals itself during low tide, allowing visitors to walk or drive across. Today, Holy Island is a peaceful site famed for its historic ruins, picturesque landscapes, and spiritual heritage, attracting tourists, pilgrims, and history enthusiasts alike.
