Excursion The holy island of lindisfarne tour at Berwick-upon-Tweed

The island played a significant part in the development of Christianity in England. In AD 635, the Irish evangelist, St Aidan, founded a monastic community here that became one of the most important centers of Christianity in Anglo-Saxon England.

Holy Island, or Lindisfarne, to give it its Anglo-Saxon name, is renowned for its medieval religious heritage and its more recent 16^th century castle. Many are attracted to the peace and tranquility which pervades the island.

Visit Lindisfarne Castle. Perched atop a rocky crag the Castle is an intriguing structure. Although it looks like a classic medieval castle, it was originally a Tudor fort which the architect Edwin Lutyens converted to a private residence in 1903. The magnificent island setting creates an unmistakable landmark.  

After your Holy Island adventure return to the ship via zodiacs.
