MenuLindisfarne Castle, Northumberland
Lindisfarne Castle is a 16th-century fort on Holy Island in Northumerland. It was constructed to defend the harbour at Holy Island from attack as part of a national strengthening of coastal defences during the reign of Henry VIII. The castle was strategically vital during the Scottish Wars of the mid-1500s and later saw action in the Civil Wars and the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. Much altered by famed architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1901 to serve as a magnificent stately home for Edward Hudson. It is within the council area of Northumberland.
