About: Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of Holy Island with our Pilgrims' Path walk across the sands. This atmospheric journey, best experienced at low tide, takes you along the ancient route once traveled by Saxon Kings and Celtic Priests. As you make your way across the sands, keep an ear out for the calls of grey seals basking nearby, adding to the mystical ambiance of the walk.

Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories dating back to Roman times, helping you envision the early pilgrims who made this sacred crossing to pay their respects to St. Aidan and St. Cuthbert. The walk to Holy Island is a unique experience, and for those who want to truly connect with the history and spirituality of the place, we recommend walking barefoot.

After reaching Holy Island, you'll have some free time to explore this special place at your own pace. Once you've soaked in the serene atmosphere, we'll return to the starting point in the comfort of our vehicle.
