The history of The Holy Island of Lindisfarne dates back to the 6th century and was home to a monastery before its destruction by Viking raiders a few hundred years later, (made famous by the hit series ‘Vikings’). The site was re-established after the Norman conquest in the 11th century. It is currently managed by the National Trust and is a site still used for pilgrimages and tourists.
