The crossing is only available at low tide and walkers can also use the causeway, again only at low tide. You can only walk across the traditional Pilgrims Path during the middle of the safe crossing times. I think you couldn’t walk across without getting your feet wet, Caite.
I took this photo as we were leaving the island along the causeway as the tide was just beginning to come in flooding the paths. It’s quite dramatic. I love this place – glad it gave you such a good impression of being there, Margot.
Roy Lewis in writing one of his Arnold Landon mysteries featured Lindisfarne Castle and the causeway to good effect. Denis and I have traveled this causeway, Margaret, so it was wonderful to see the area again.

I hope the pilgrims have some good boots.

Great shot, but it looks like a perfect setting for murder looking like an accident 😉
