Holy Island is linked to the mainland by a long causeway where twice each day the incoming tide covers the road. Safe crossing times are displayed for motorists but when drivers get caught out they can take refuge here and be rescued or wait for the next low tide. I used the shelter when a heavy shower passed over but left when I realised that a swallow had built a nest inside and was waiting to come in and feed the young birds.
