The Holy Island of Lindisfarne (to give this special place its correct name) is located just off the mainland of the northern-most part of England's east coast, close to the border with Scotland. Lindisfarne was first inhabited by Saint Aidan in 635AD and was the epicenter of Christianity during Anglo Saxon times. Today, the Holy Island is an oasis and peace and tranquility and attracts many visitors each year. You can reach the island via a paved causeway (at low tide!) and spend a few days enjoying boating, walking, hiking, and bird-watching. Highlights of the island include visits to Lindisfarne Castle, Lindisfarne Priory, and the Lindisfarne Exhibition Center.
