I remember many many years ago visiting with my dear mom..I was only a girl ..im now 83 years old..have the best memories..we had to walk over wet sand..NO ROAD ! and climb over rocks , and we had to watch for the tide coming in..I live in the USA now..but still love the north east ..UK !
Wow thats a memory and a half !
I find it amazing that the tide come in and out twice daily and this road survives, it looks alot better condition than the roads around Durham, stay safe and happy all
The tarmac workers must of been super fast laying down that road! 🤣
I’m guessing the road was built back in the day when the sea levels weren’t as high and it was one dry bit of land
Would have no time for the usual countless number of tea breaks
They might have isolated the area. The way they do in Venice when they clean the canals.
@@oddities-whatnot😂😂😂😂 top comment. Read this almost choked on my coffee
One day mankind will discover the skill of bridge building until then we will be at the mercy of mother nature.
Interesting. It puts one in mind of the Passage Du Gois in France. Thanks for posting!
I remember going across the causeway. on holy island, a lady knocked me and made me drop my phone and it broke. This is a holiday i will never forget :)
Did she offer to pay for repair or replacement ?
I remeber going here with my school and i remebe we had tl drive thru the water on a coach jowever it was only like a couple centimetres so we were alright but it was so cool
Just come back from here. Been lot's of times. Love it.
Hazel.
Thank you well done!
Tourists have been doing the same thing for 1,500 years.
No wonder Cuthbert retreated further to Inner Farne island.
Drivers, especially, please spare a thought for the live crustaceans that inhabit the causeway after the tide recedes. (I refused to drive over them).
Definitely worth a visit great day out if the weather is good. We went in wind a rain. Still enjoyable though.
I wonder if it special tarmac .good timelapse😀👍
and the solution is to raise the level of the road above the high tide mark how tough is that to figure out?? we have many places on the Bay of Fundy where we deal with tides way higher this this little bit lol
Super fun!
I REMEMBER THIS SO WELL , we would visit often my mum and I , but back then NO road !? just wet sand and rocks to climb over..I was only a young girl..now IM 83 years old and living in USA ! but those memories soo very special..I remember them vividly ..and very very fondly .
If MY memory serves me correctly !? maybe just a post office there !?! hmm…
mad to think this happens twice a day, every day
Getting it twice a day 👍
People still seem to not realize the water comes up thru the land, not just in rising waves.
sorry, what?
@@nigelsmith721 I think they mean the water follows the landscape so in low spots the water is deeper. IE when/ if your silly/ unlucky enough to get cut off the last part of the road would be deep enough to sweep you out to sea.
Not so much out to sea as water would be incoming but off the road into out of your depth deeper water .
How in the world did they build that road ?
Found out that it was built in the 1950's. Before that there was only a footpath. They dumped gravel type of material and then paved it.
@@ab9840 Between tides?
@@johnsilva9139 - Most likely.
I think they would have dammed the finished pieces of road in section by section but I am no expert, was just thinking surely the road will not cure and be ready in such a short time and the water looks relatively still. I really want to visit here, even the modern day features raise questions, what a great place.
Its fancy to enjoy nature and let the high tide show Gods power
Mother Nature's power !!!!
so what does the sign say? that you kept going to and back quickly
Danger do not proceed when water reaches causeway
It is stupid to try to cross when there is water on the road.
Ace that.
para el que sepa hablar español en que pais del mundo pasa eso porque la carretera cuando sube la marea queda vajo las agua
Northumberland, north of England
Por el otro lado de la carretera hay una isla de las mareas, 'tidal island'. Se accede a la isla por la carretera cuando no hay marea alta.
What is so fascinating people its just water
Time for a bridge
Just bring rain boots!
yup, its nice//|))
This is unnecessary, there are warning signs ,tide tables,placed both sides and local radio gives crossing times on air.
Yeah sure , but it is fun to watch....if people get stuck ---> natural selection at work
