Lindisfarne Castle
Lindisfarne Castle was built in 1550 to protect Holy Island, this Tudor fort was converted into a private house in 1903 by the young Edwin Lutyens for Edward Hudson. It can only be reached at low tide over a causeway. The small rooms are full of intimate decoration and design, and the furniture is dark wood tables and cabinets. Stone arches and oak beams give the castle a rustic feel. The windows look down upon the charming walled garden, originally the Fort´s vegetable garden, re-designed by Gertrude Jekyll in 1911.
