The Holy Island of Lindisfarne was a cradle of Christianity during the Golden Age of Northumbria. The Castle is an awesome site and the Norman Priory stands on the site of an Anglo-Saxon monastery founded by St Aidan in AD635. It is believed that Aidan chose the site because of its isolation and proximity to the Northumbrian capital of Bamburgh.

A 14th Century ruined fortress. The atmosphere when sitting amidst her ruins with the North sea wind howling above and around you is quite evocative and mysterious. There is also a Golf course only a walk away for lovers of the sport!

The home of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland needs no introduction, aka the “home” of J K Rowling’s Harry Potter. The Castle invites visitors from the end of March 2012 including the Gardens. A truly magnificent part of our heritage.
