Lindisfarne is a suburb of Hobart's Eastern Shore, located approximately 6 kilometres from the City Centre and is part of the municipal City of Clarence.
Lindisfarne is centred around a bay of the same name that is one of many such sheltered anchorages on the Derwent River. The bay is home to a number of clubs that cater for rowing, sailing and motor-cruising the local waterways. The Lindisfarne Motor Yacht Club (pictured), The Lindisfarne Sailing Club and the Lindisfarne Rowing Club are all situated on the bay's foreshore.In addition there is also a large recreation park which includes playing fields, tennis courts and a memorial park, all situated on a bluff overlooking the Derwent River and Mount Wellington. The memorial park is also the site of a large Tasmanian Aboriginal midden.
Lindisfarne is also home to a number of large retirement villages and similar senior-citizen accommodations.
Lindisfarne has some resemblances to the English Lindisfarne such as St. Aidan's church and St. Cuthbert's school.
