Holy Island(譯名:聖島)是位於英格蘭東北部的潮汐島。
**解說:潮汐島為島嶼的一種,這種島嶼的底部與陸地相連,在水位較低時,可直接由(通常為狹窄的)陸路前往,但漲潮時由於海水將較低處淹沒,便成為島嶼。
隨著暑假到來, 而英國疫情又反反覆覆,小編決定只是帶小朋友到附近遊山玩水,順道為大家介紹一個非常值得一去的小島 – 聖島(Holy Island)。這小島離Newcastle其實頗近(只須大概一個半小時車程),所以居住在Newcastle差不多20年,都從來無考慮去參觀下。經過今次後,覺得它是個可以常去的好地方!
Holy Island特別之處是經過一條直線公路來連接英格蘭大陸,然而這條公路每天都在跟海平面一比高低。當水位一漲,整條公路都會消失不見,由此也切斷了進出島嶼的唯一通道,更精彩的是有些司機竟膽敢挑戰大自然而陷入困境。所以小編建議大家每次去之前都要查詢安全時間表。漲潮期間約2小時,漲滿之後有3小時,也就是每天約有5小時的時間,聖島是與世隔絕的孤島。
當你安全進入聖島後,只要跟從指示牌便可持到停車場,因為島上好多地方禁止行車,所以把停好車走路會更方便。收費也非常合理,不是按每小時。
時間: | 收費: |
3小時 | £4.50 |
24小時 | £7.00 |
48小時 | £14.00 |
72小時 | £21.00 |
停車場出入口就是一條路直通島上的小村落,沿途還有不小當地住戶在路邊擺攤,售賣自己的農作收成。
島上另外一個特色景點就是這座著名的『Lindisfarne教堂』。於盎格魯-撒克遜時期,教堂作為基督教的傳教聖地,很多著名基督教傳教士都曾經到此傳教, 亦因此島嶼被命名為聖島。以木為結構的這座宏偉教堂曾經被洗劫,在維京時期更被破毀。後來到諾曼人統治時期再被重建轉變為石頭結構。至今已經成為英國一級保護建築。
這次行程比較短暫,由於趕緊潮漲前離開,所以只逗留了兩個小時,因此很多地方未有機會探訪。各位如想逗留更長時間,可以預約島上的酒店留宿一晚。
海邊有一大片石塊地,很多遊客把石頭砌成石柱,極具特色!
