About a 30 minute drive south from Berwick Upon Tweed lies Lindisfarne. This small island lies close to the coast and only accessible at low tide. I drove out before dawn (remember that is not until about 8:30) and left just before sundown (about 2:30).
On this island are the ruins of an Priory dating from at least the 12th century. This replaced one from the 8th century. St. Aidan and Cuthbert established this place and it was the seat of christianity as it spread into northern England and southern Scotland.
