Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, Protected coastal area in Northumberland, England
The 3,541-hectare reserve contains diverse habitats including tidal mudflats, rocky shores, sand dunes, and salt marshes along the North Sea coastline.
The reserve maintains strong connections to the seventh-century monastery where Celtic monks established a center for Christian learning and evangelism in England.
Natural England supervises conservation initiatives within the reserve while supporting research projects and educational activities for local communities and visitors.
Visitors need to check tide schedules before accessing the reserve via causeway, as the road opens three hours after high tide and closes two hours before.
The reserve serves as the only British wintering location for pale-bellied brent geese from Svalbard, supporting 330 recorded bird species throughout the year.
