Day 2 Wooler to The Lindisfarne Inn (Beal)
13.5 miles / 21.5 Km 5-7 Hrs 1450ft / 440 MetresAfter a gentle climb out of Wooler you cross the Weetwood Moors and then descend to cross the River Till on the 16th century Weetwood bridge. Near the hamlet of Horton, you cross the route of a Roman road and follow a rolling landscape with the remains of WW2 defences. The romantic St Cuthbert’s Cave makes for a lovely picnic site. From the next ridge you suddenly get your first clear view of the coast and Holy Island, before a pleasant woodland walk guides you towards the end of your hike at Fenwick. A short walk along a quiet road then brings you to The Lindisfarne Inn at Beal (not on the island).

Day 3 The Lindisfarne Inn (Beal) to Holy Island of Lindisfarne
8 Miles / 12.5 Km 3-4 Hrs 160ft / 50 MetresThis short day is undoubtedly the highlight of St Cuthbert’s Way for most hikers. A lovely walk through meadows and fields brings you to the coast where a causeway links Lindisfarne to the mainland. From here, you can cross to Holy Island along the road or by following the ancient Pilgrim’s Way across the Beal Sands. Allow yourself enough time to explore the island with its medieval priory, castle, coastal nature reserve and inviting cafes and pubs.

Day 4 Depart Lindisfarne
There are infrequent bus services off the island. It might be easier to take a taxi to nearby Beal or all the way to Berwick-upon-Tweed from where you can get connecting trains to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle. Full details provided upon booking.
