Holy Island, off the north Northumberland coast, is also known as Lindisfarne. My tip is to view Roman Polanski's film Cul-de-Sac before you go, so you can figure how he made the setting for his fascinating movie, starring Donald Pleasence, seem like a castle on a rock with no village, harbour or Priory ruins nearby.
This all adds a wonderful layer of drama to a naturally dramatic setting.

A few miles south of Berwick-upon-Tweed, it's essentially a peninsula, the lower leg and road causeway of which gets covered by the incoming tide (a phenomenon used by Polanski to entrap two criminals on the run). Check your tides to know when you can get on and off. It's nice to spend at least one high tide cut off from the mainland.
