Itinerary

View itinerary · 3 stops
  1. 1

    Stop 1: St Abbs Head and Harbour Duration: 30 minutes Description: Your first stop is the picturesque fishing village of St Abbs. Famous for its rugged cliffs and traditional harbour, it recently gained fame as the filming location for "New Asgard". We take a short drive down to the water’s edge for a cinematic photo opportunity and a breath of fresh sea air before the crowds arrive.(30 min)

  2. 2

    External visit with optional entrance. Must be paid on site. Stop 2: Holy Island (Lindisfarne) Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes Description: We cross the tidal causeway to the mystical Holy Island of Lindisfarne. As the cradle of Christianity in England, this island is steeped in history. You will have time to explore the 12th-century priory ruins, sample the famous Lindisfarne mead, and wander the charming village streets. Important Information: The Tides The crossing to Holy Island is governed by the North Sea tides. Because your safety is our priority, the order of our stops may be swapped (visiting the castle before the island) to ensure we cross the causeway at the safest time. In rare instances where the tide remains high all day and the island is inaccessible, we will instead include extra scenic stops and photo opportunities along the dramatic Northumberland coast to ensure you still have a full day of discovery.(1 hr 30 min)

  3. 3

    External visit with optional entrance. Must be paid on site. Stop 3: Bamburgh Castle and Beach Duration: 3 hours Description: The afternoon is dedicated to the "King of Castles". We stop in the village of Bamburgh for a generous three-hour visit. This allows you ample time to enjoy a local lunch in a village pub, explore the magnificent interiors of the castle, and take a walk along the golden sands of Bamburgh Beach for iconic views of the fortress.(3 hr)
