Lundy Island, UK | Guide & Full Island Tour

In this video I make a rain and wind-swept visit to the costal Island of Lundy, United Kingdom. One of the UK's declared greatest natural wonders. Travelling on the Island's supply ship: the 1950s era MS Oldenburg. Lundy is the largest island in the England's Bristol Channel. It lies 10 nautical miles (19 km) off the coast of the county of Devon. Lundy gives its name to a British sea area and is one of the islands of England. Taking its name from the Puffin, a rare seabird that is found on the islands cliffs. Lundy is included in the district of Torridge with a resident population of about 28 people. These include a warden, a ranger, an island manager, a farmer, bar and house-keeping staff, and volunteers. Most live in and around the village at the south of the island. Most visitors are day-trippers, although there are 23 holiday properties and a camp site for over-night visitors, most at the south of the island. In a 2005 opinion poll of Radio Times readers, Lundy was named as Britain's tenth greatest natural wonder. The island has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and it was England's first statutory Marine Nature reserve, and the first Marine Conservation Zone. because of its unique flora and fauna. It is managed by the Landmark Trust on behalf of the National Trust. The island has a long and turbulent history and has changed hands many times, owned in 1100s by the Knights Templar, and usurped by the brigand Marisco Family in the 1200s. In modern times the site of the wrecking of the Battleship HMS Montagu in 1906. And the site of two Crashed German Heinkel HE111 Bombers in World War 2. Today the Island is a semi wold sheep farm, and a popular, if challenging to visit, tourist destination.
