St. Cuthbert's Cave, Kyloe Hills near Belford, Northumberland. The saint's body was said to have been rested here en route from Lindisfarne to Durham. Cave said to be haunted by the Hazelrigg Dunny, a reiver who sometimes took the form of a dun-coloured horse. St Cuthbert's Cave is a natural sandstone cave in Northumberland approximately 13 km from Dunstanburgh Castle. It is neither very big nor deep, but rather takes the form of an overhang large enough to provide shelter for a small group. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, in 875 as the Danes ravaged Lindisfarne and "... destroyed all the monasteries. Eardulf, bishop of Lindisfarne, and abbot Eadred, taking the body of St. Cuthbert from the island of Lindisfarne, wandered about for seven years." According to legend, this cave is one of the places in which the monks took shelter with their holy relic. ?005 Credit:TopFoto / Fortean
