Various dates between 15 May - 28 August 2023 | The Pilgrim's Way, Holy Island of Lindisfarne
Join Footsteps in Northumberland for this unique Airbnb Experience, a Sunset Walk on the Pilgrim's Way to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
Imagine walking barefoot in the footsteps of ancient Kings, Saints and some Sinners too, across Lindisfarne Bay in the late afternoon. We pause for a while on the Island to enjoy a picnic and to visit some of the Island's historic locations. Then, as the sun begins to dip towards the far horizon, we start the return journey, retracing our path back across the bay, walking towards the setting sun and a world of colour as the sky turns red, the wind dies away and all we hear is the mournful calling of grey seals on the sandbars and the splish-splash of our feet in the water. There is plenty of time for photographs, to gather memories, to pause, reflect to stand and stare and share this unique experience with your fellow travellers, one not to be forgotten.
To book and pay for this Airbnb Experience, please follow the link to Footsteps' Airbnb Experience page. You will need to have an Airbnb account to book your place(s). On the Airbnb booking page is all the information you will need for this experience and a link to contact your host, Patrick Norris if needed. On the Experience Page, there are reviews, photographs and information about where to meet and what to bring.
Dates are limited due to the requirement to follow the safe crossing times on the Pilgrim's Way. Dates have been chosen to ensure that there is more than enough time to safely making the crossing there and back, well within the published safe crossing times.
Finally, the experience is occasionally at the mercy of the weather and I have in the past cancelled the activity due to poor weather conditions, which can the make the whole experience unpleasant. On the whole, I can always guarantee you a great walk, I cannot guarantee that there will always be a magical sunset, but when they're good, they are amazing.
I look forward to sharing a Sunset Walk with you on the Pilgrim's Way to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in 2023.
