Disused old rowing boat on the holy island of Lindisfarne_ Northumberland uk
Lindisfarne also has the small Lindisfarne Castle, based on a Tudor fort, which was refurbished in the Arts and Crafts style by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Lindisfarne Castle is a much more recent structure, built on an outcrop of rock known as Beblowe Crag, 1570-2. The Tudor fort was built to safeguard a harbour that sheltered English ships at war with Scotland. The accession of James VI of Scotland to the English throne in 1603 united the two kingdoms and Lindisfarne Castle lost its importance as a border fort. However a garrison remained at the castle until the late 19th centuryLindisfarne or Lindesfarne is a tidal island off the north-east coast of England. It is sometimes known as Holy Island, but several different islands around the British coastline also share this affectionate name. A causeway connects the island to the mainland of Northumberland, though it is flooded twice a day by tides
