Holy Island Sands and The Pilgrim’s Way

Holy Island must be one of the most photographed places in the British Isles – deservedly so. For the artist it is tempting to reproduce the same iconic image of the castle of the abbey, but I have always preferred the quieter sides of the island with ranges of sand dunes and vast beaches to the north. Here we see the village across the mudflats that are submerged at high tide, with the posts of the Pilgrim’s Way.
