Walk to Holy Island: A Local Guide to Crossing the Sands
The walk to Holy Island across the sands is one of the finest crossings in the country - three miles of open sand and a line of poles heading out towards Lindisfarne. Here's how to get the tides right, find the route, and avoid the muddy patch that catches nearly everybody out.
Walking across the Pilgrims Causeway onto Holy Island of Linstfarne is one of the best walking experiences you can ever imagine. The sense of isolation is very different than countryside walks.
But as The Holy Islands Island of Lindifarne must work around the safe crossing times to the Holy Island. Please do not attempt to cross the causeway at any other time as the tide comes in very rapidly and is very dangerous.
