Leave Edinburg to Bamburg and See Lindisfarne

Bamburgh, pronounced “Bambrah”,

Edinburgh pronounced “Embrah”

Also worth noting Bamburgh is by no way a city it’s very small village with a very big castle. Others will chip in about buses.

Camborne...do you have any info on my question? Thanks for help with pronunciation:-)

Yes. I would do this trip in the opposite direction and start at Bamburgh.

Thanks, Camborne. I'm coming to Edinburgh from the direction of Glasgow so I thought to stop there 2 days, then head to Bamburg (with suitcase), stay there, next morning possibly with tides in favor see Lindisfarne.

So, you're thinking be in Bamburg, see castle, stay night, go to Lindisfarne, then on to Edinburgh?

Can’t help with the bus question since we had a rental car, but here’s a link to the tide schedule. Since we had a car we took low and high tide photos from the same point.

Unless you’re returning to Edinburgh after Bamburgh and Holy Island, it makes no sense to go to Bamburgh then backtrack to Edinburgh.

you're thinking be in Bamburg, see castle, stay night, go to Lindisfarne, then on to Edinburgh?

Yes. Although it’s still Bamburgh :)

Thank you:-)
I'll eventually get the Bamburgh! It'll still sound funny from my SE Tennessee accent:. Ha!

Train Edinburgh to Berwick on Tweed, bus from there to Bamburgh. The bus to Lindisfarne only run every few days, so taxi to Lindisfarne, then taxi back to Berwick. Afternoon LNER train from Berwick.to.Inverness- only 1 per day at about 4pm, or train to Edinburgh then hourly Citylink bus to Edinburgh - last at 1910, arrive 2308. Bus is cheaper booked with Megabus who code share the route.

isn31c beat me to an answer...

This isn't going to be the easiest journey.

Catch the train to Berwick upon Tweed. If the tide times work out, it might be best to do Holy Island first. There is a 477 bus that goes from Berwick to Holy Island. Times and days vary depend on the tides and there is only one bus a day, so you will need to spend the night there

The following day catch the bus back to Beal and then catch the X18 to Bamburgh. (Download timetable here)

Bamburgh village is tiny and will only take about 30 minutes to walk round. Add another 30 minutes for the church and 2-3 hours for the Castle. Again you may need to spend the night at Bamburgh and catch the bus the following day.

Are you absolutely committed to going to Bamburgh? If not, Timberbush do a one day tour from Edinburgh to Holy Island and Alnwick. Alnwick is a lot bigger than Bamburgh and is an attractive and busy town with a splendid castle.

To add to what Wasleys wrote the 477 bus runs twice a day when it runs, at either end of the tide.
The other way to get to Lindisfarne at High Tide is Billy Shiel's landing cruise from Seahouses. Gives you 2 hours on the island.
The bus from Bamburgh stops at Seahouses but is not super frequent.
Borders Buses 418 provides extra journeys from Bamburgh to Seahouses

Bamburgh, pronounced “Bambrah”,
Edinburgh pronounced “Embrah”

That's not how I pronounce them and you'll receive different opinions from people all over the UK however the most obvious difference is the burgh part is not pronounced as it is in Pittsburgh, the closest approximation is it sounds more like "burr" (there will be disagreements on this I'm sure).

I usually say (and hear) the …burgh in Edinburgh and Bamburgh as a very fast “burra” which then comes out as “bruh” in quick speech.

Burg, burgh, brough, borough - all variants on the same word but there are nuances of spelling and pronunciation.

Is it Middlesbrough whose football team are known as Boro?
