Holy Island, which is separated from the mainland, is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - the tides cut off the island for a period every day, subject to incoming tides.

Holy Island, which is known as Lindisfarne, dates back in its history to the 6th Century AD, when it was visited by Saints Aidan, Cuthbert, Eadfrith and Eadberht of Lindisfarne. The original island was home to a Monastery and later destroyed in Victorian times, but re-established as a Priory following the Norman Conquest of England. The Parish Church dates back to 635 AD and was restored in 1860. Lindisfarne Castle is a particularly impressive building, and the area is known for its historical tourism and bird watching. The island has three fabulous pubs, a coffee shop, Distillery, a hotel and a post office.

Holy Island is well located off the coast of Northumberland, and has good accessibility both north and south via the A1 trunk road, and to local train Main line stations at Berwick upon Tweed and Alnmouth, with regular direct services north to Edinburgh, and south to Newcastle & York and London Kings Cross.
