A row of old fishing boats now used as general storage sheds close to Lindisfarne Castle, a small fortress built in 1550 on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in Northumberland, Britain. 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, founder of Lindisfarne Priory, is still a place of pilgrimage today. The small tidal island is only accessible from the mainland at low tide using a causeway at certain times of the day.
