A warning sign just before the causeway connecting Lindisfarne Holy Island (a tidal island) to the mainland in Northumberland, Britain. It is to warn visiting motorists not to ignore the incoming tides and get stuck. The small tidal island is only accessible from the mainland at low tide using a causeway at certain times of the day. Holy Island is the birthplace of Christianity bought by Saint Aiden in 635AD in Angelo-Saxon times. From here the Christian message spread around the world. Saint Aiden founded the monastery and Saint Cuthbert, Lindisfarne Priory, and still a place of pilgrimage today.
