Step into the rich history of Northumberland on a full-day tour that takes you to two of the most iconic sites in England: Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne. These landmarks have witnessed centuries of history, from pre-historic settlements to Viking invasions and the rise of Christianity in England.

Your adventure begins at Bamburgh Castle, once the heart of the Kingdom of Northumbria during the 7th and 8th centuries. As the fortress of this powerful kingdom, Bamburgh was a center of political and military power, and its impressive fortifications offer breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline. The castle has stood as a bastion against Scottish attacks throughout the medieval period, evolving into the magnificent structure you see today.

Next, you’ll journey to Lindisfarne, a place steeped in spiritual significance and historical drama. Famous for the Lindisfarne Gospels and as one of the first places in the UK to be attacked by the Vikings, Lindisfarne is known as the cradle of English Christianity. Explore the ancient priory and learn about its role in shaping early Christian life in England. The island's tides make this a unique experience, with the crossing timed for your safety, ensuring you get to explore this remarkable location.

Along the way, we’ll also visit the charming village of Bamburgh, where St. Aiden’s Church and its fascinating ossuary are just waiting to be discovered.
