Post-Cuthbert
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
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.
