Human settlements have been present in Bamburgh and Lindisfarne since ancient times. Bamburgh Castle, as a stronghold of the Kingdom of Northumbria, served as the hub of England’s largest kingdom during the 7th and 8th centuries. Over time, the Castle became an integral defense against Scottish invasions, eventually transforming into the formidable structure visible today. Lindisfarne is renowned for the Lindisfarne Gospels and for being among the first places in the UK to suffer Viking raids. It has been termed the birthplace of English Christianity due its monastic significance in the dark ages. The tour might visit Lindisfarne at varying times depending on tidal conditions to ensure a safe passage back to the mainland. The tour also includes Bamburgh Village, with the remains of the monastery and St. Aiden’s Church being notable tourist attractions.
