- Lindisfarne Castle is a 16th-century castle located on Holy Island.
The island itself is accessible from the mainland at low tide by means of a causeway.
It can be found near Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England.
The castle is located in what was once the very volatile border area between England and Scotland.
Not only did the English and Scots fight, but the area was frequently attacked by Vikings.
In the eighteenth century, Lindisfarne castle was occupied briefly by Jacobite rebels, but was quickly recaptured by soldiers from Berwick who imprisoned the rebels; They dug their way out and hid for nine days close to nearby Bamburgh Castle before making good their escape.
