The holy mountain (Lindisfarne, Northumberland, United Kigdom)
United Kingdom, Northumberland, Lindisfarne, Spring 2024
The Holy Island of Lindisfarne in Northumberland is a tidal island off the northeast coast of England. It is accessible, most times, at low tide by crossing sand and mud flats which are covered with water at high tides. These sand and mud flats carry an ancient pilgrims' path, and in more recent times, a modern causeway. Holy Island has a recorded history from the 6th century. It was an important center of Celtic Christianity. After Viking invasions and the Norman conquest of England, a priory was reestablished. A small castle was built on the island in 1550, Lindisfarne Castle.
