PLEASE NOTE THAT START TIMES FOR EACH WALK ARE DIFFERENT DUE TO THE TIDES AND YOU WILL BE SENT THE START TIME FOR YOUR CHOSEN DATE.
THE START TIME OF 0330 GIVEN IS NOT CORRECT! I WILL SEND YOU THE CORRECT START TIME.
The route across the sands at low tide is atmospheric, evoking the time of Saxon Kings and Celtic Priests. We are likely to see and hear Grey seals as they bask on the sands. You will hear stories dating back to Roman times and can begin to imagine early pilgrims making the crossing to pay their respects to St Aidan and St Cuthbert. Holy Island is a special place and the best way to approach it is across the sands - walking barefoot if you want to get the most from your experience!
The walk is one-way to the island, returning to the start point in my vehicle after we have spent some free time on Holy Island.

Brilliant walk over the sands with Ray

5.00Brilliant, informative and interesting walk over the sands with Ray which we would not have attempted on our own. Ray was extremely knowledgable and friendly and his experience of the sands and surrounding area made us feel safe and confident. We wore wellies which were ideal for the walk. We were very fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed the whole experience. In fact, the walk was the highlight of our trip to Northumberland. Thank you Ray.

5.00I’m not a religious person but found walking barefoot in the footsteps of the pilgrims quite a spiritual experience. Thanks to Ray for leading this wonderful activity, he engaged with all members of the group & was very mindful of differing abilities and interests. I loved the history he shared as we walked across, delivered in such a relatable way and with charm & charisma.
Nice easy walk, if you get lucky with the tide times and the eeather

5.00Great walk, did it on a still sunny day, on a low spring tide barefoot with my boots strung around my neck. Great experience, what a lovely place. Had to put boots back on to walk back to Berwick.

5.00We had a wonderful evening learning all about Cuthbert and Oswald from our knowledgeable guide Ray, whilst walking across the sands to Holy Island. This is definitely an experience not to be missed. In spite of a dodgy forecast the sands and sunset were magical. Thank you to Ray for being such a super guide and good company.

5.00A wonderful way to walk as a pilgrim to Holy Island . Ray was a really friendly upbeat leader that brought the group together and shared stories along the way that were enjoyable and brought the whole experience alive with history. The weather was perfect. We stopped at one point to hear the seals in the distance- one of my highlights. I loved walking barefoot across the sand , it captured my pilgrims imagination. We had enough time on the island to discover the priory and gazed over to St Cuthbert island . A day like this creates a memorable experience and I would recommend to everyone. Thank you Ray , I’ll certainly recommend to my friends .
