Neil Oliver – ‘...big, bad, and they mean business!’ - Podcast episode 26

Episode 26: In this episode Neil takes us to an island stained with the first bloody fingerprints of an invader who would change the British Isles forever. <br> <br>Heading to the Northumberland coast, at low tide, Neil walks to the tidal island of Lindisfarne. During the 7th century this small island became home to a thriving priory that grew to be rich and famous around the world. Its wealth drew the attention of the Vikings who in a smash-and-grab raids plundered its treasure, maiming and murdering anyone who stood in their way. Home to a picturesque castle that stands on a basalt crag facing the mighty North Sea, Lindisfarne is a small island that has seen much! <br> <br>To help support Neil’s podcasts &amp; get access to extra content every week sign up to 'Neil Oliver' on Patreon <br>https://www.patreon.com/neiloliver <br> <br>Check out the series Instagram account called, ‘Neil Oliver Love Letter’ <br>https://www.instagram.com/neiloliverloveletter <br> <br>Audio Podcast versions, <br>Neil Oliver's Love Letter To The World &amp; <br>Neil Oliver's Love Letter To The British Isles <br>Are both available on all the usual providers <br>https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/....podcast/neil-olivers <br> <br>YouTube version Producer: Oscar CFR <br>Drone footage: big thanks to Mark Halligan <br> <br>#neiloliver #lindisfarne #vikings #northumberland #holyisland #pilgrimage #staiden #kingoswald #history #britishisles #neiloliverGBNews #travel #culture #ancient #historyfact #explore
