The tidal crossing to Holy Island
The Holy Island of Lindisfarne
St Cuthbert’s Way (4-9 Days)
Trace the life of this region's most celebrated saint by hiking from the Abbey of Melrose through the breathtaking landscapes and history of the Scottish borders to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in Northumbria.
Hike from the historic abbeys of the Scottish Borders to the scenic Northumberland Coast. Explore charming villages, ancient towns, medieval abbeys and impressive castles. Enjoy views from the Eildon Hills, the Cheviots, the Kyloe Hills and the Northumberland coast. Experience the tranquility of the Scottish Borders and follow in the footsteps of early medieval saints in northern England’s “cradle of Christianity.” End your hike with a memorable walk across sandbanks to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, exposed only at low tide.

Hillwalk Tours
A hiking tour where you tell us what you want. What day you’d like to start. When you want to finish. How far you wish to hike each day. On a Hillwalk Tours, the only wishes that matter are your wishes. You are the best person to decide what you want. We are the best people to organise it for you. Every step you take on your hiking tour, we will have been there before you. Each B&B you stay at, we will have checked already. We’ll transfer your bags, tell you all about Scottish history and folklore and show you where to find the tastiest food and the best local whisky.
