direct from
Holy Island, Lindisfarne.
Connected at low tide to the Northumberland coast by a causeway, Lindisfarne is a tiny lump of carboniferous rock that's home for 200 people and an attraction for thousands of tourists. As a religious centre it dates back to AD 635 when
St Aidan established a monastery, now in ruins; but the castle is open during the summer and the wildfowl and wading birds provide a spectacular sight.
John looks at the history and at life today on an island where the postal deliveries, bus timetables and the daily lives of its inhabitants are controlled by the tides.
