Overview

Since pre-history Bamburgh and Lindisfarne have had human settlements. As a fortress of the Kingdom of Northumbria Bamburgh was the centre of the largest Kingdom in England during the 7th and 8th century. In the middle ages, the Castle developed as an important fortress against Scottish attack - eventually developing into the impressive fortification you see today. Lindisfarne is famous for both the Lindisfarne Gospels and being one of the first locations in the United Kingdom to be attacked by the Vikings. It is called the cradle of English Christianity due to the importance of the monastery in the dark ages. Due to the tides, the tour may go to Lindisfarne at different times to enable safe crossing and return to the mainland. The Village of Bamburgh will also be included in the tour with the remains of the monastery and St. Aiden’s Church both being sights to visit.

Visits to Medieval and later Lindisfarne Abbey and Bamburgh Castle

Published on Mar, 2025

Given that it was the very beginning of the season, I was fortunate to be the only person on this day trip. I had a wonderful day with him: starting from the pickup from my hotel in Durham (and eventual return there); to travel in his comfortable new vehicle; to the thoughtful choice of route which would interest me; to the extensive knowledge he displayed of the sites visited as well as other features seen en route; and to the venues for morning and lunch and the delicious food options. I was very impressed with the level of detail he provided on all aspects of the sites, and especially his academic ability to satisfy my particular interests in the earlier history and archaeology of the region. I recommend him very highly indeed.

Amazing day with Iles Tours!

We went to Bamburgh Castle, Ad Gefrig and Holy Isle with Alex. It was a great day trip from start to finish. Alex was very kind and had so many interesting stories to tell us and knowledge to share. He could answer all our questions. But above all he is a very great and fun guy. We will definitely see him again next year for another day trip. Thanks again Alex!

We spent a delightful day with Alex on a private tour of New Castle, Bamburgh, and Lindisfarne. Not only was Alex extremely knowledgeable about the history of these places, he also enthusiastically conveyed the information, sparking our interest and more questions about what we were seeing. To top it off, Alex is an excellent conversationalist and dinner partner, and we enjoyed talking with him about a plethora of topics related to the society of present-day England and its North. We could sense the great love he has for the North, its culture, and its history, which facilitated our curiosity and learning. Frankly, we could have engaged in dialogue with him all day-- that's how interesting we found his tour-- and regretted only that the day had to end, and we had to move on in our travels. I think we can say that our day with Alex to see Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island was one of the top highlights of our entire UK trip. If we are ever back in New Castle, Durham, or Northumberland, we will be sure to engage his services again.
