Sitting on top of the 30m high Beblowe Crag on the otherwise low lying tidal Holy Island of Lindisfarne, it is a castle built on an unusually domestic scale. What makes it so attractive is that it is a castle you could imagine living in. And what makes it so fascinating is that in 1902 the Country Life magazine founder and owner Edward Hudson decided to do exactly that.
As a result what you find today is a remarkable fusion of a Tudor artillery fort and an Edwardian country mansion, a fusion created by the noted architect Edwin Lutyens in the years from 1903.
