Lindisfarne 
Located 11mi/18km further on from Bamburgh is Beal, which is a starting point for visits to Lindisfarne Priory on Holy Island, parts of which are a bird sanctuary. At low tide the island can be reached on foot or by car across a causeway (2¾ mi/4km). The island derives its name from the fact that it was very important as an early center for Christianity.
