At Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island, visitors can explore walking paths, view the castle atop its craggy hill, and even look for seals from the coast of the North Sea.

The castle itself was built in the 16th century and has often been used over the years as a quiet holiday home for English nobility due to its stunning and remote location in the northeast of England.

Before visiting Lindisfarne, visitors should check the conditions of the Holy Island causeway, a bridge which is sometimes unsafe to use due to rising water levels. Not far from Lindisfarne is Castle Point, where the arching stone of the disused Castle Point Lime Kilns makes for some great exploring and spectacular views.
