Lindisfarne - England's Holy Island

Lindisfarne or Holy Island is just off the northeast coast of England and can be reached on foot at low tide on foot or by car.
The image below is what most people today associate with Lindisfarne but this is in fact Lindisfarne Castle which was built in 1550 A.D. and was a military barracks for over 300 years.

To find the ancient monastry we have to look elsewhere and dig deeper. Archaeologists are still trying to locate the original site of the monastry on the island and have found several promising candidates.
