A circuit of Holy Island including Lindisfarne Castle

Easy
Departure from Holy Island (Northumberland)
This Northumberland walk makes an anti-clockwise circuit of Holy Island. The route includes Lindisfarne Castle and some wild coastal walking.
Holy Island, off the Northumberland coast, has many historic connections and sees many tourists. However, once away from the village and Lindisfarne Castle you will enjoy some wild coastal scenery in relative solitude.
⚠️The island cannot be reached at high tide so careful advance planning is necessary to complete the walk.

-1,991 ft
3 hrs
Moderate
Departure from Alwinton (Northumberland)
A good 20 mile route around Kidland Forest, starting from Alwinton. This can be done in either direction, but I prefer the way described, as it has one steep 10% climb and then undulates. Please note that there is forestry work taking place in 2025, so please avoid this route when logging is taking place, but enjoy it on weekends.

Difficult
Departure from Alwinton (Northumberland)
This walk explores the hills that lie just inside the southern boundary of the Northumberland National Park at the head of Coquetdale. The hills in the southern part of the Northumberland National Park offer some fine walking. This route starts from the small village of Alwinton and follows paths, tracks and quiet country lanes for the most part. However some sections are pathless and a good sense of direction is necessary. The walk is best avoided if low cloud is covering the hills. Also do be prepared for some boggy areas especially after rain.
