St Cuthberts Cave.

St Cuthberts Cave is a sandstone Ccave, situated in the Kyloe Hills near Holburn between Belford and Lowick.
The woodlands and cave are the property of the National Trust.
The cave is formed of overhanging rock, sufficiently large to provide shelter for a small group, with a width of 24m and height of 3m. The back wall is 7m from the face and there is a natural rock pillar in the middle of the cave.
This is a place I have been meaning to visit for the last couple of years. A fantastic location and one definitely worth a revisit.
Storm Arwen has clearly wreaked havoc in the woods which changed my route slightly but no major drama.
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, in 875AD, as the Danes ravaged Lindisfarne and destroyed all the monasteries. Eardulf Bishop of Lindisfarne, and Abbot Eadred, taking the body of St Cuthbert from the island of Lindisfarne, wandered about for seven years."
According to legend, these caves might have been among the places in which either the Monks took shelter with their holy relic or where Cuthbert himself lived as an anchorite hermit before moving to the Farne Islands.

Can I ask where did you park?

Morning Aaron. You can park at Holborn Grange. You can then take an easy bimble up to the cave or extend your walk as you see fit. Hope you enjoy it.
