Day Trip to Holy Island, Alnwick Castle and Northumbria from Edinburgh

4.5/5
16 reviews

The first stop of the tour is the Holy Island, connected to the mainland by a causeway which leads into the quaint island village of Lindisfarne, from where there are stunning views of Lindisfarne Castle. You'll spend some time wandering through the ruins of its Priory, sample some of the world-famous Lindisfarne 'Mead' brewed by Monks on the island and enjoy the tranquillity for which the island is renowned.

Then, it's time to continue south to the bustling market town of Alnwick, whose greatest building is the medieval Alnwick Castle. You can discover the town centre or explore the castle itself which is considered one of the finest castles in England and was even used in the Harry Potter films.

After you've been dazzled by Alnwick, it's time to head north once again where you'll see the River Tweed, the historic border town of Coldstream and Flodden Field. This tour promises to show you some of the star attractions of Scotland and England!

    We had a good trip. More time at Lindesfarne so we could walk to the priory and explore the town would have made the trip ideal.

    Super leuke dagtrip. We hadden een geweldige gids mee (Paul Santa), die op een leuke manier de historie vertelde over de plekken waar we langs kwamen en waar we stopten om de plekken te bezichtigen. Iedereen die mee was met deze tour kreeg persoonlijke aandacht van de gids. Zo werden tevens verdiepende vragen over de historie beantwoord.
