At low tide, you can use the ancient causeway to walk across to the island. Step onto the cobbles and tread a path followed by pilgrims, traders, nobles and villagers over many hundreds of years. The causeway is cobbled, uneven and tricky to navigate, please check our accessibility information before you visit.
When can I use the causeway?
At high tide, the sea covers the causeway and during the winter the island will be closed. However, at low tide, the causeway is revealed and visitors can stroll across and back. The causeway is open for around four hours each day, depending on the tides and weather.
You’ll need around 15 minutes to walk the length of the causeway.
