A fantastic morning on Holy island visiting Lindisfarne Castle, Northumberland. The castle has been well renovated/maintained by the National Trust over many years. Well worth a visit. #nationaltrust #lindisfarne www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/north-...

VIKINGS vs SAMURAI May 3

Lindisfarne, 793: lightning, dragons, and Viking fury. The holy hotspot of English Christianity gets hit like a Norse crime scene, monks down, relics gone. Not just a raid. A brutal mic drop that launched the Viking Age.

Heavenly Havoc: Lindisfarne and the Dawn of the Viking Age

On June 8, 793, Vikings shattered the peace of Lindisfarne, the heart of English Christianity. This brutal raid wasn’t just about loot; it symbolized a clash that would redefine medieval Europe.

Today we’re visiting Lindisfarne, otherwise known as Holy Island, and won’t be able to leave until dinner time. It’s a tidal causeway and the times change rapidly, so if you ever visit be sure to check tide times first!
I’ve been a couple of times but not for many years.
