Location has always been the main attraction for the owners and occupiers of Lindisfarne Castle.


From a former fort to the holiday home of a wealthy Edwardian bachelor seeking a quiet retreat from London; the idyllic location of the castle has intrigued and inspired for centuries. Arts and Crafts architect Edwin Lutyens’ renovation both hides and emphasises the old fort, all the while overlooking leading garden designer of her day Gertrude Jekyll’s enchanting walled summer garden. The Lime Kilns, have an unexpected grandeur, an imposing and striking reminder of Lindisfarne’s industrial past. Note: Holy Island can only be reached via three-mile tidal causeway, opening times vary. Check tide times online. Limited toilet facilities. Property situated on very steep slope, with steps and low doorways. Tours not possible during normal opening hours.
