Two people rescued from Holy Island causeway after car was cut off by the tide

Two people were rescued from the Holy Island causeway after being cut off by the tide.

At around 3pm on Friday afternoon, the Coastguard received a call to a car stranded on the causeway road after the safe crossing time ended at 1.35pm.

The Coastguard confirmed that two people were then rescued from the Holy Island causeway.

They were safely escorted to the mainland by rescue teams.

Later in the afternoon, tourism ambassadors Exploring Northumberland posted a warning for the public to take note of the tide times.

The post said: "If you are visiting Holy Island aka Lindisfarne Northumberland this summer PLEASE take note of the tide times.

"You will NEVER beat the tide so don't attempt to cross the causeway after the stated safe times."

You can check the crossing times here.
