1. Holy Island

Episode 1 of 5

Paddy and Bob are on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne which is cut off from the mainland twice a day due to the tides. From 2016.

Paddy O'Connell travels the country with his dog, Bob, talking to the people he meets - perfect strangers who act as guides to where they live.

The first of five stops is the Holy Island of Lindisfarne - a spiritual place, with a rich history.

Life on Lindisfarne is ruled by the tides and it's cut off from the mainland twice a day.

Producer: Hannah Marshall

A Loftus production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in December 2016.
