1. Holy Island

Travels with Bob

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.
