Been going to Holy Island since the mid 1980's and always have respected the tides. The best thing of all about the tides though is when you stay on the Island when the tide is closing and everyone else leaves. The peace and quiet of the Island when the tide is in is pure heaven.❤

This video is a setup. The causeway is not flooding, the tide is going out which is why there is a queue of traffic waiting to cross. Several people have pointed out the dangers of ignoring the crossing time schedules, I've seen many ignore that and their car ruined as a result. I used to live up the road in Berwick.

Many years ago, about 40 I think, me and my lass tried to get off the island as the tide started coming in. We got about halfway to the little hut and the water had reached the bike's axles. Then, the engine cut out. We turned around and were just about able to push back to shore. At one point, I looked back and she'd disappeared over the edge. Luckily, she re-emerged and we made it. One of the most stupid things I've ever done. The tide comes in very quickly.
