PILGRIMS' PATH - HOLY ISLAND
in the footsteps of the Saints

Few people fail to be affected by the atmosphere and presence of this walk.
Holy Island was one of the earliest places in England to adopt Christianity, but any visitor will sense the oneness with nature as we walk across the tidal estuary towards Lindisfarne Priory.

The route is subject to tidal restrictions and start times must be observed
Many walking the estuary do so barefoot. Others choose wellingtons or waterproof walking boots.
As we cross you can hear tales of ancient Northumbrian Kings and Celtic monks.
Once on the island you will have time to explore before the return trip by car to the start.. Four hours is usually allowed for this walk of around four miles. PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE TIDE TIMES, EACH WALK WILL START AT A DIFFERENT TIME. EMAIL ME FOR CONFIRMATION OF TIMES ON YOUR CHOSEN DATE.
