Islandshire is a region in England, centred around Lindisfarne or Holy Island, including many villages on the mainland. It is historically associated with the Bishop of Durham, and was an exclave of the traditional county of Durham. Parliament passed an act that it should be considered 'for all purposes' part of Northumberland in 1844, and it is usually considered such.
