In 635AD, St. Aidan came from Iona and founded his monastery on Lindisfarne, off the north-east coast of England. The Christian message flourished here and spread throughout the world. Today, Holy Island is not only a centre of pilgrimage. Its tranquility, spirituality and scenic beauty, including an impressive castle, will enchant you. For many, it is the jewel in the crown of Northumbria.
