Sunrise Sound Walk: The Pilgrim's Path to Holy Island
Horatio Clare sets out on a Sound Walk chasing the December sunrise on the Pilgrim's Path to Holy Island.
At first light, as winter touches Northumberland, Horatio Clare sets out on the Pilgrimâs Path to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. With a falling tide and a rising sun he walks east across the tidal flats from the mainland to the island, once home to Cuthbert - monk and abbot of the islandâs priory and patron saint of Northumbria.
The first of two programmes walking the North Sea coast. As the rising December sun brings warmth and light to the coast in the depths of winter, Horatio takes delight in the minute detail of the plants, the wildlife, the sounds and wide East Coast vistas he experiences on the walks. Suffused with music reflecting the feel and mood of the coastline, he captures the ever-changing light and shifting seas and sands of these liminal places.
