Beautiful Lindisfarne. A favourite place for us! This weekend I discovered that Durham Cathedral is the shrine of St. Cuthbert. I had thought he was on Inner Farne where he ended his life as a hermit, a place we have visited several times during the seabird breeding season, when the Farne Islands are densely populated with sea birds. The eider duck, which is closely associated with St.Cuthbert are prolific on Inner Farne, it's also the home of hundreds of fiercely territorial terns!
Tonight at choir, one of my fellow choristers noticed the little Durham Cathedral bookmark poking out of my handbag! She told me about her walk last year St. Cuthbert's Way, and how she would love to walk the Camino, or like us, part of it! Googled when I got home, and below is a link with information on the St. Cuthbert Way. Also adding a photo of the shrine of St. Cuthbert in Durham Cathedral.
