Don't drive for two days to visit this place like I did I arrived tired waited an hour for the tide to go out only to find I was not welcome on the island the reason for this my crime? I am a motorhome tourist I'd advise you to go the opposit coast on Arran were your welcom
Sorry people, I could not resist this: " oh , you Brits, you are so hang up about tides and sacred places". A Dutch engineer would have solved this problem simply by suggesting you build a ten foot dike on either side of the roadway ( or better still at the edge of the ebb levels on either side) this would have secured entry to your holy island and on the rest of the floodplain, we might have planted corn within ten years.
I reckon that if 'we Brits' had wanted to, that would have been done centuries ago. Never mind dykes, build an embankment with bridges in the appropriate places to allow tides to flow and ebb. That would just have made it ordinary as opposed to out of the ordinary.
Drop the word 'causeway' from the title and it would be more appropriate to the content. More intereseting would be if a drone could hover for the full tidal range while taking time-lapse exposures. The resulting footage would be revealing, esp when it engulfs the causeway.
Dvorak - New World Symphony No. 9 (2nd Movement) most people in the UK remember it for the little boy in the Hovis bread commercial on British TV pushing his bike up the hill a scene from the past, do a search you will find it.
The 2nd Movement is commonly called Going Home. I walked the entire length of the Causeway in July 1992. The experience was life changing after visiting the Priory and seeing the Lindisfarne Gospels.
Our delightful, historic island lies just off the extreme Northeast corner of England near Berwick-upon-Tweed. The small population of just over 160 persons is swelled by the well over 650,000 visitors coming from all over the world every year.
The road is about 3 miles in length, of which the first mile is through the sea and then it snakes along the island. When the tide is out, it is just like a normal road, though the crossing is beautiful and sometimes eerie. The causeway takes about 10 minutes to drive, depending on traffic and conditions.

Stunning area, and very relaxing video, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful video. Thanks for uploading. (I like the music as well.)
I love your relaxing video. 🇰🇭
Goes out a long way. That hut is ace. Bets its well cosy in there.
Cosy? I doubt it. It is for emergency use only - like when idiots who try to beat the tide don't.
Thank you very nice

I knew this is really ignorant - but what is that music?

Lovely choice.
The best way to learn is to ask. Nobody knows everything 😀
