Lindisfarne Castle, Northumberland, England, 2003
The Holy Island is cut off from the mainland at high tide. In 635 AD, the Irish evangelist, St Aidan, founded a monastery. Viking raids forced the monks to abandon the island in 875, but in 1082, St Cuthbert rebuilt the Priory. Lindisfarne Castle was built in 1570. The original Tudor fort was built to safeguard a harbour that sheltered English
ships at war with Scotland. British Landscape Panoramic Photograph.
