Lindisfarne Castle (Lindisfarne)
Lindisfarne Castle is an impressive castle and landmark on the island of Lindisfarne, or Holy Island, off the Northumberland coast.
It was originally built, in around 1550, on the highest point of the island, known as Beblowe Crag, to be used as an advance base for an expedition against the Scots.
The castle saw service during the Civil War and during the Jacobite rebellions. It continued to be garrisoned during the Napoeonic Wars, after which it became a coastguard station.
The castle was purchased in 1902 by the owner of "Country Life", Edward Hudson, who commissioned Edwin Lutyens to restore it and turn it into a home.
Roman Polanski used Lindisfarne Castle as a setting for his films "Cul de Sac" and "Macbeth".
It is now in the care of the National Trust.
