Lindisfarne is a tidal island off the north-east coast of England. It is also known as Holy Island and constitutes a civil parish in Northumberland. Both the Parker Chronicle andPeterborough Chronicle annals of AD793 record the Old English name, Lindisfarena, which means “[island of the] travellers from Lindsey”, indicating that the island was settled from the Kingdom of Lindsey, or possibly that its inhabitants travelled there. In 2001 the island had a population of 162.
The island is accessed by a causeway, which becomes submerged twice a day so beware if traveling to the island that you will be stuck on the island if you miss-read the tide times!
