I guess it should be pointed out that this “something” is the ruins of one of the very first christian churches of Britain. Iona (another island) and Lindisfarne is often considered as the two principal monasteries of early British christianity.

The maze you refer to is a ‘Maize Maze’, it’s been open a few years.
The Island is one of my favourite places, especially if you stay in one of the few hotels over-night, when you have the place almost to yourself!

I cant believe you got through a whole post about Lindisfarne without mentioning one of the greatest records ever made.

Very impressive, I havent thought about this place in a long time. I was on a school trip at the age of 10 and burried my butties (sandwiches) in that same sand in 1984!!
