I’ve recently been asked where to go on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Some suggestions from me here - what would you add?
• go to morning eucharist in the island parish church
• spend time in the parish church with the wooden statue of Cuthbert’s monks carrying his coffin
• visit St Cuthbert’s island at low tide (below the parish church)
• walk round the east/northeast shore of the island
• spend time bird-watching from the hide at the lake on the east side
• visit the book shop at the Open Gate retreat (Community of Aidan and Hilda)
• be in the garden for prayer near to Open Gate (see pic attached)
• and give attention to the small things…
