Scotland St. Cuthbert's Way

Lindisfarne Castle,
is a 16th century castle rebuilt in 1901 by Sir Edwin Lutyens into a manor house.
Holy Island and the castle can be reached from the mainland at low tide via a dam or on foot.
The castle stands in a once hard-fought border region between England and Scotland. Not only the English and Scots but also the Vikings fought in the area. The castle was built at the time the Lindisfarne Priory was dissolved. Bricks from the priory were then used as building material for the castle. At the highest point of the island it still stands today.
