Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island, is a small island just off the coast of Northumberland. Is is a really charming place to visit, and is steeped in history. One of the most amazing things about the island is that it connects to the mainland by a causeway, which is flooded over twice a day by the tides. It is important that before you go you check the tide times and keep to the marked paths.
The island has a quaint village, which includes shops, pubs and post office. There is also the castle, arts and craft centre and the monastery to visit. Another must it trying mead, a honey flavoured alcoholic drink, which was made by the monk who lived in the monastery and recipe has been pass down.
