Holy Walls

The Priory ruins on The Holy Island of Lindisfarne in this image from 2018,
In 635AD Saint Aidan came from Iona and chose to found his monastery on the island

This Island is off of the Northeast Coast of Northumberland, accessed by a One Mile tidal causeway, which is covered by the North Sea twice daily, therefore a study of tide times is required for a safe crossing.

HWW and a large view is probably best!
