Dogs on the Coast

This mysterious tidal island off Northumberland’s coast becomes inaccessible when the tide washes over its causeway. When it’s safe to cross the causeway, expect to find charming cafes, an ancient priory, and a castle that teeters on the coastline.

The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is a must-visit, but you must check safe crossing times before visiting. Linked to the mainland by a causeway which is cut off twice daily by fast incoming tides, it is vital to check safe crossing times before crossing the causeway.

Our Tourist Information Centres are a source of inspiration for customers, with friendly and knowledgeable staff on hand to share their passion for Northumberland. Find all the information you need to make your visit an unforgettable experience.
