Lindisfarne (, ), (variant spelling, Lindesfarne), is a
tidal island off the north-east coast of
England. It is sometimes known as Holy Island, but several different islands around the British coastline also share this affectionate name.A
causeway connects the island to the mainland of
Northumberland, though it is flooded twice a day by tides — something well described by
Sir Walter Scott:For with the flow and ebb, its styleVaries from continent to isle;Dry shood o'er sands, twice every day,The pilgrims to the shrine find way;Twice every day the waves effaceOf staves and sandelled feet the trace.
