Live from Lindisfarne

Join Petroc Trelawny and guests on the island of Lindisfarne.

Radio 3 Breakfast begins its journey around the north east of England across a long causeway, cut off twice daily as the tide sweeps in from the North Sea: on Holy Island, Lindisfarne.

Towering high over the island is Lindisfarne Castle – a 16th-century fort transformed by Edwin Lutyens into an Arts and Crafts holiday home for publishing magnate Edward Hudson. Petroc describes the magnificent views, and hears tales from the Castle’s history – for example, visits by Hudson’s fiancée, the celebrated cellist Guilhermina Suggia - and he learns about the shifting sands, tides and wildlife of this unique location. Live music is provided by harpist Emily Hoile, from Newcastle, and now based in Germany, as Principal Harpist of the WDR Symphony Orchestra.
