Holy Island has been named as one of the most beautiful places to visit in England.
The Times has released a list of the 20 most beautiful places in England, ranging from quaint cities to perfect beaches.
Found along the Northumberland coast, Holy Island is known for its historic ruins and views of the sea.
If you want to visit the island, you will have to check the tide, as it is only reachable at certain times.
What is Holy Island like?
On Holy Island, The Times said: "The Northumberland coastline is a string of blemish-free, sandy beaches interrupted by dramatic castles and old fishing villages.
"Just offshore is the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, a mystical place reachable by a causeway that is only driveable (or walkable) at certain stages of the tide.
"On the island, there’s a ruined priory, a 16th-century castle on a rock, and a real sense of peace amid birdsong and wood smoke.
"The island’s name dates from the time when this was an early outpost of Christianity and, whether you’re a believer or not, it remains a place of serenity and contemplation that puts daily life into perspective.
"It’s possible to stay on the island — try the Manor House Hotel, which is a short walk from Holy Island Sands."
The main point of attraction for many visitors has to be Lindisfarne Castle, but you can also spend some time exploring the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory.
The priory was ransacked by Viking raiders in the 8th century, but there is still plenty of the historic building left to see.
For wildlife lovers, you can visit the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, which is made up of mudflats, dunes, and salt marshes and is home to lots of birds to spot.
As well as the historical attractions, the island has a few pubs and cafés to spend some time in.

You could sit outside at the Pilgrims Coffee House and Roastery to enjoy a high-quality coffee alongside some food, and even buy some coffee to take home with you to remember the trip by.
If you need something a little stronger than coffee, you can take a trip to the Ship Inn for a beer and some fish and chips sourced from the local area.
