Otherwise known as Lindisfarne, the isle earned the name “Holy Island” because of St. Aidan, an Irish monk from Iona who founded a cathedral there. St Cuthbert, of whom several miracles are attributed to, is also closely linked to the history of the island, having served as its bishop in the year 684. Besides its religious roots, travelers flock to this area to visit Lindisfarne Castle, which was built in the 1500s as a defense against Scottish invaders and is one of the great National Trust Sites in the UK. Wine lovers should also not miss trying the isle’s mead, a tasty blend of crushed white grapes, honey, herbs, and water from Lindisfarne’s artesian well. And to add to the charm of your trip, plenty of amazing places to stay on Holy Island are available on Airbnb.
