Read on to find out more about the stunning location in Vera: The Rising Tide.<\/p>\n
Where was Vera: The Rising Tide filmed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n ![\"Vera]( "\\"Vera")

Known to some as Holy Island, the rugged land is a site of pilgrimage in Celtic Christianity and is situated off the east coast towards the top of Northumberland county.<\/p>\n
It was originally home to a monastery which was destroyed during the Viking invasions, but was later reconstructed.<\/p>\n
Those who wish to visit the island by car need to time their trips carefully \u2013 the island is only accessible by a causeway when the tide is low. Otherwise, you\u2019ll need a boat.<\/p>\n

Speaking about filming on Lindisfarne, Brenda Blethyn said: \u201cIt was lovely filming on Holy Island. It\u2019s such a special place and everyone is so friendly. But we filmed this in November and December of 2022 and it was very cold. The tide is still in when Vera gets the call about the death so she has to travel on a pilot boat to the island.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was actually out on the boat but I\u2019m not sure you see that in the final edit. There will have been some priceless footage on the boat but they\u2019ve had to cut it for time reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t risk losing Vera\u2019s hat at sea so it was kept firmly in place at all times. The hat was pulled down securely on my head with some elastic pushed inside the hat and then under my chin. A very good practical solution which you can\u2019t see because the elastic is flesh coloured and it fits into the shape of my jaw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cSo I just pulled the hat down and made sure it didn\u2019t blow off into the North Sea. We couldn\u2019t use hat pins because if the wind is really strong and the hat takes off it is pulling on your hair. Like being scalped! So we used a crafty bit of elastic under the chin.\u201d<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Furthermore, this isn\u2019t the only time you\u2019ll have seen Lindisfarne on Vera \u2013 the detective\u2019s gorgeous cottage is actually situated there!<\/p>\n
\n\n\n\nBlethyn revealed: \u201cViewers who know the area have long since recognised that we use a property on Holy Island for the exterior shots of Vera\u2019s cottage with the interior filmed back at the studios. But I\u2019m not sure if the fact she lives on the island has ever been directly mentioned on screen before.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, how could she live on an island where the tide comes in twice a day and cuts the residents off? I guess you could call it dramatic licence!\u201d<\/p>\n
