Stop At: St Abbs
St Abbs
Stop 1: St Abbs Head and Harbour Duration: 30 minutes Description: Your first stop is the picturesque fishing village of St Abbs.

We take a short drive down to the water’s edge for a cinematic photo opportunity and a breath of fresh sea air before the crowds arrive.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Holy Island
Holy Island
External visit with optional entrance. Must be paid on site. Stop 2: Holy Island (Lindisfarne) Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes Description: We cross the tidal causeway to the mystical Holy Island of Lindisfarne. As the cradle of Christianity in England, this island is steeped in history. You will have time to explore the 12th-century priory ruins, sample the famous Lindisfarne mead, and wander the charming village streets. Important Information: The Tides The crossing to Holy Island is governed by the North Sea tides. Because your safety is our priority, the order of our stops may be swapped (visiting the castle before the island) to ensure we cross the causeway at the safest time. In rare instances where the tide remains high all day and the island is inaccessible, we will instead include extra scenic stops and photo opportunities along the dramatic Northumberland coast to ensure you still have a full day of discovery.
