Pilgrims' Path walk across the sands to Holy Island

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.
