After finishing the Way we spent a few days sightseeing, first in Edinburgh, and later in Stirling, before flying out of Glascow.
Edinburgh Castle
Palace of Holyroodhouse
Month: April 2017
Holy Island of Lindisfarne
St Cuthbert Way Day 8, April 23, Sunday
Start Lindisfarne Inn, Beal
Stop Bambaugh Inn, Lindisfarne
Miles walked: 9.4
In the morning we start a road-walk to the causeway for Holy Island. This is a non-elevated causeway that connects the island to mainland across a tidal mudflat, so the road is underwater for much of its length at high tide, or twice a day. We have to time our crossing with tide tables.
On the causeway, there is enough room for hikers to walk just off the pavement for nearly the total distance.
