You'll spend some time wandering through the ruins of its Priory, sample some of the world-famous Lindisfarne 'Mead' brewed by Monks on the island and enjoy the tranquillity for which the island is renowned.Then, it's time to continue south to the bustling market town of Alnwick, whose greatest building is the medieval Alnwick Castle.

We had a good trip. More time at Lindesfarne so we could walk to the priory and explore the town would have made the trip ideal.

Super leuke dagtrip. We hadden een geweldige gids mee (Paul Santa), die op een leuke manier de historie vertelde over de plekken waar we langs kwamen en waar we stopten om de plekken te bezichtigen. Iedereen die mee was met deze tour kreeg persoonlijke aandacht van de gids. Zo werden tevens verdiepende vragen over de historie beantwoord.
