Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lindisfarne Castle
Heritage Open Day: A castle that's not a castle, on an island that's not an island. Travel across the causeway to Holy Island and discover this magical place. One of the most iconic landmarks in the UK, Lindisfarne Castle was converted by famed architect Sir Edwin Lutyens into a private holiday home for Edward Hudson, founder of Country Life magazine. Outside, discover the summer-flowering garden designed by Gertrude Jekyll, the unexpected grandeur of the 19th-century industrial lime kilns, shoreline walks and a National Trust shop in the village. For 2024, a new light, sound and sculptural installation by artist Liz Gre "Embodied Cacophonies" draws inspiration from the elemental nature of Holy Island. Before visiting the island, please check the tide timetable to see safe crossing times for the Holy Island causeway.
