From the Wikipedia article
The Holy Island Waggonway (sometimes referred to as the Holy Island Tramway) was a network of waggonways across the island of Lindisfarne, Northumberland, England. The earliest two lines connected limestone quarries at the northern end of the island with lime kilns and a tidal jetty in waters known as The Basin, northwest of Lindisfarne Priory. A third line down the eastern side of the island eventually replaced the earlier routes. It was built to connect the remaining quarry with new kilns and a pair of new jetties near Lindisfarne Castle. The waggonways had all fallen into disuse by the middle of the 1880s.
