Stunning archipelago, home to a myriad of wildlife. There are between 15 and 20 islands depending on where the tide is but this is a must for all crime drama fans. The first episode of the popular TV detective series ‘Vera’ was filmed here. The islands in the Outer Group are Staple Island, the Brownsman, North and South Wamses, Big Harcar, and the Longstone. With the two groups being separated by Staple Sound.

St Cuthbert’s Cave is an overhanging outcrop of sandstone rock, supported by an isolated pillar of stone. It is reputed that the monks of Lindisfarne brought St Cuthbert’s body to this place to rest for a short period in AD875 following Viking raids on the Island and the subsequent abandonment of the Saxon monastery.
