The holy island of lindisfarne

  • Cruise line: Silversea
The island played a significant part in the development of Christianity in England. In AD 635, the Irish evangelist, St Aidan, founded a monastic community here that became one of the most important centers of Christianity in Anglo-Saxon England. Holy Island, or Lindisfarne, to give it its Anglo-Saxon name, is renowned for its medieval religious heritage and its more recent 16th century castle. Many are attracted to the peace and tranquility which pervades the island. Visit Lindisfarne Castle....
