Lindisfarne Priory

This is a very interesting and informative place - it combines a sense of history with a sense of down to earth Early Middle Aged entrepreneurial spirit and a sense of spirituality - it has a really nice visitor centre and Museum

A very interesting place, beautifully preserved. There is a small museum at the visitors' centre at the entrance which has some interesting exhibits and useful information about the priory. Only a 5 minute walk from the visitor's car park.

This Priory is stunning and ancient. It resides on a tide island so visits will need to be timed for low tide unless are staying in town. No cars allowed in town so is a walk to the Priory but so worth it. Set near water the area is gorgeous. The cemetery is intimate. The remains church is lovely. The small village is such a pleasure to stroll through.

Great place and excellent gift shop.Some parts you can visit free, but the museum and priory there us a charge. And you get a discount if you book in advance online.Great place, knollegeable and friendly staff. And it's all dog friendly too.Our first visit and really enjoyed it.

Lindisfarne holy island Northumberland, a beautiful island to explore its wild and rugged exposed to all weather's so this time of year wrap up well . Much to see the village , priory, church , old lime kilns which are huge like walking into a church and a castle which belongs to national trust well worth a visit also gift shops . Plenty eateries tho can be quite expensive one particular £9 50 for a crab cob which to me was a rip off. Many walks on and around the coastal parts great for watching waders and wetland birds. It is a wonderful place for artists and photographers . To get on the island is driving along the causeway when the tides out. Just need to check the times.

Beautiful ruins, the priory was closed during Henry VIII’s dissolution/ suppression of monasteries. This site is run by English Heritage, free entry for members. There are information boards dotted around the site, tickets can be purchased from the English Heritage shop near to the priory. You will need to show these to gain entry. It is definitely worth a visit, I have been a few times now.Parking available outside of the village, so there is a short walk to reach the priory.The island is reachable by a causeway which can only be crossed at low tide. Check tide/safe crossing times.

Amazing place - make sure you know the tide times before setting out as you can only enter and leave during low tide. Fascinating history, really enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the place.

Beautiful place.We've visited before but we wanted to go again. Really tranquil, talk to the volunteers they have so much knowledge.

Visited this idyllic and beautiful place a few times now. I have felt peace here and found it very spiritual.Unfortunately on this visit, I didn't feel any of these. I felt that many of the hundreds of visitors were rude, selfish and bad mannered. They were pushing, walking in front of people, walking across the graves at St Mary's, walking on private property, they were like animals. Also, I feel the Island has become too commercialised. Every way you look, they were after money. The car park is fair, but there's charities shaking buckets, buckets for renovation works, and I think the castle visit is overpriced as it's owned by the national Trust, you also have to pay to get into the Abbey's Ruins as it's owned by English Heritage. I know some of the money goes to protect this history, but please be fair. I managed to get a few nice photos, no thanks to the rude pilgrims walk-in in front of me so they could take there's. I would imagine St Aiden would turn in his tomb if he could see what the islands become
