Overview

PLEASE NOTE THAT START TIMES FOR EACH WALK ARE DIFFERENT DUE TO THE TIDES, AND NOT AT 02:30am (as mentioned by tripadvisor) The route across the sands at low tide is atmospheric, evoking the time of Saxon Kings and Celtic Priests. We are likely to see and hear Grey seals as they bask on the sands. You will hear stories dating back to Roman times and can begin to imagine early pilgrims making the crossing to pay their respects to St Aidan and St Cuthbert. Holy Island is a special place and the best way to approach it is across the sands - walking barefoot if you want to get the most from your experience! The walk is one-way to the island, returning to the start point in my vehicle after we have spent some free time on Holy Island.

Amazing experience even in 40mph winds!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was my ‘must do’ activity whilst visiting Northumberland and it looks like the weather was against us with rain and high winds forecast. Ray was happy for the tour to go ahead as long as the rain passed which it did. And what an experience it was. I was welcomed into the group of 7 walkers being the only solo person booked on. The weather conditions made it tough and slow going in places. Ray did his utmost to tell his stories as we went but had to finish some when we reached the island. I opted to wear my walking shoes due to the cold weather but they did get conpletely soaked at the final section when we had to go through calf height water. The walk was rated easy on the booking page but as someone who regularly walks over 20k steps a day I would say this rating is entirely dependent on the conditions on the day. Thanks Ray for a memorable experience.

Historic and enlightening tour

The walk across the tidal plains to Holy Island, Lindisfarne is rewarding, informative and an experience to be treasured. Ray our pilgrim guide was encouraging as to the challenge, knowledgeable in the storied history and passionate of this famous place of Christianity. His stories of St Aiden and St Cuthbert, were inspiring and educational. Not to mention the plethora of Kings or rogues as Ray would described that are so influential in Northumberland. An excellent tour.

Enjoyable and informative tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Really interesting, informative, and relaxed walking tour. Ray was a great guide and gave our group an informative talk on the history of the area. It was a very enjoyable 4 hours walking across the causeway and learning the local history in what was a windy but sunny afternoon. Definitely recommend.
