Lindisfarne Castle is a late 16th century stone artillery fortress, founded by King Henry VIII. Sited on an outcrop of basalt known as Beblowe Craig, it probably replaced an earlier look-out tower or beacon. By 1545, three bulwarks had been built on Holy Island and one of them was possibly sited on or to the east of the craig. After the earth walls of the bulwark collapsed, it was regarded as indefensible and the irregular polygonal castle was commenced in 1570. With three levels of batteries and an upper keep, in 1903, Edward Lutyens absorbed the fort, in the construction of a dwelling house for Edward Hudson. 3 miles west is Fenham Tower.
