Aurora Over Emmanuel Head, Holy Island
From £32.00
The aurora paints red and green across the sky above the Emmanuel Head pyramid on Holy Island, with the colour bleeding right down into the wet sand. A rare enough sight on the Northumberland coast that a clear night with a strong forecast is always worth losing sleep over.

Holy Island, or Lindisfarne, is cut off from the Northumberland mainland twice a day by the tide, reachable only by a causeway passable for a few hours either side of low water. It was the site of one of early Christian England's most important monasteries, founded in 635 AD, and pilgrims have crossed the exposed sands on foot, marked by a line of wooden poles, for well over a thousand years.
