The Neighborhood: Britannia Cottage is located right in the centre of the Holy Island and within easy walking distance of local restaurants and cafes. Perfectly placed, youll have easy access to everything from the cottage. Just a few miles off the Northumberland coast and cut off twice-daily from the rest of the world due to the fast-moving tides of the North Sea, the island has a truly magical feel. Occasionally grey seals can be seen sunning themselves on the coastline or bobbing through the waters. If you’d like unspoilt sandy shores, head to Coves Haven beach on the northern side of Holy Island. High sand dunes and steep cliffs shelter this small, remote beach making it the perfect spot to relax. Rising from the rock face, you can’t miss Lindisfarne Castle which was originally built in 1550 as a fort to defend the harbour. Restored back in 2017, you can visit the castle today to take in the outstanding architecture, history and views. With plenty of landscapes to discover, Lindisfarne is very popular with walkers. It is even the final destination of St Cuthbert’s Way, one of Scotland’s Great Trails. There is an array of wildlife throughout the island, from the mudflats to the dunes which together form the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve. You’ll find a whole host of different bird breeds such as the pale-bellied brent geese bar-tailed godwits. Getting Around: Britannia Cottage is within walking distance of all that Holy Island has to offer and just a few miles from the main Northumberland coast. The easiest way to travel to Holy Island is by car but there is a 477 bus service from Berwick-upon-Tweed which travels to the island with a return trip later in the day. There is a train station in Berwick-upon-Tweed with regular services to Newcastle and Edinburgh as well as London Kings Cross. Berwick-upon-Tweed is within 45 minutes’ drive time of other popular Northumberland destinations such as Alnwick, Alnmouth, Seahouses and Bamburgh so it’s perfectly located for exploring.
