The Lindisfarne Causeway was formed through a combination of natural geological processes and human engineering. Over centuries, tidal actions and sediment deposition shaped the landscape, creating a flat area between Lindisfarne Island and the mainland. The causeway itself was constructed to facilitate access to the island, allowing vehicles and pedestrians to cross during low tide while being submerged at high tide. This unique combination of natural and man-made features highlights the dynamic interaction between land and sea in the region.
