Holy Island and Seahouses

Take a journey through scenic Northumberland and enjoy a visit to Holy Island.

Skim over the sands and causeway to Holy Island and prepare to enter another world. Lying just a few miles off the Northumberland coast, Holy Island is cut off twice-daily from the rest of the world by fast-moving tides. Both an island and a picturesque village, Holy Island carries a wealth of history within its tidal walls.

Visit Lindisfarne Priory, the Abbey ruins, Abbey Museum, not forgetting to buy your Lindisfarne Mead, made on the Island, from the Mead Shop. If you are feeling adventurous, take a stroll round to other end of the Island and visit the Sand Dunes, do a spot of seal watching or bird watching, there are many species to see.

Once we have exhausted the island, we will travel to Seahouses, a large village on the North Northumberland coast. Saunter along the bustling harbour of this colourful fishing village and browse an Aladdin’s Cave of shops in this popular seaside holiday resort.
