Step back into the remarkable past of Northumbria on a full day tour of Bamburgh and Lindisfarne, two of the most historically significant sites in England. Once the capital of the powerful Kingdom of Northumbria, Bamburgh stood as a formidable stronghold during the 7th and 8th centuries and later became a key medieval fortress against Scottish incursions. Today, its dramatic clifftop castle offers breathtaking views and centuries of fascinating stories.

Your journey continues to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the cradle of English Christianity and home of the world-famous Lindisfarne Gospels. As one of the first places in Britain to be attacked by Viking raiders, its history is as dramatic as its sweeping coastal landscape.

Depending on the tides, your guide will plan the safest time to cross the causeway so you can explore the island’s priory, village, and serene shoreline. The tour also includes a visit to the charming village of Bamburgh, with stops at St Aidan’s Church and its intriguing ossuary. With transport, entry tickets and lunch included, this immersive day out offers a seamless and enriching way to experience the heritage, legends and landscapes of England’s northeast.
