| Lindisfarne
/ Holy Island became an important part of Christianity
in the British Islands when King Oswald asked that Saint
Aidan be sent from the Scottish island of Iona to
Northumberland in around the year AD 635 to found
Lindisfarne Monastery. The Venerable Bede wrote about
one of the island most famous residents Saint Cuthbert
in his famous book The Lindisfarne Gospels in the early
700s. Today you can reach the island by a small causeway
that is covered by the tides twice a day so it is recommended
you check the tide tables before starting your journey.
There are plenty of places to visit on the island
including the Monastery ruins, there is also Lindisfarne
Castle and one of my favourite places that I always call
into when visiting the island is St.Aidan's Winery the
makers of the famous Lindisfarne Mead made from a
mixture of honey and other ingredients
