Lindisfarne Priory stands on Holy Island, off the Northumberland coast. Its remarkable history stretches back more than 1,300 years, making it one of the most important historic religious sites in England.
Today, visitors can explore the remains of the medieval priory, discover the story of St Cuthbert and learn about the famous Viking raid of AD 793.
For visitors with limited mobility, the Priory offers some useful accessibility features, including an alternative step-free entrance. However, grass, gravel and sloping ground can make parts of the site more difficult to explore.
This guide explains what to expect, where to park, the facilities available and how to plan a comfortable visit.
Important: Check the Holy Island crossing times
Holy Island is reached by a tidal causeway. The road is covered by the sea at high tide, so visitors must check the official safe crossing times before travelling.
Allow sufficient time for your return journey and never attempt to cross outside the published safe periods.
