Beal is a small hamlet located on the rural mainland opposite Holy Island. Holy Island, which is separated from the mainland, is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; the island is cut off for a period every day, subject to incoming tides. Beal is well located on the Northumberland coast, and has good accessibility both north and south via the A1 trunk road, and to local Mainline train stations at Berwick upon Tweed and Alnmouth, with regular direct services to Edinburgh Waverley, Newcastle, York and London Kings Cross.Holy Island, which is known as Lindisfarne, dates back in its history to the 6th Century AD, when it was visited by Saints Aidan, Cuthbert, Eadfrith and Eadberht of Lindisfarne. The original island was home to a Monastery which was later destroyed in Victorian times, but re-established as a Priory following the Norman Conquest of England. The Parish Church dates back to 635 AD and was restored in 1860. Lindisfarne Castle is a particularly impressive building, and the area is known for its historical tourism and bird watching. The island has three fabulous pubs, a hotel and a post office.Approx distances : Berwick 14 miles | Alnwick 22 miles | Morpeth  51 miles | Newcastle upon Tyne  55 miles | Edinburgh 66 miles
