It is difficult to pin down why Lundy Island has such an effect on people.
It is true that Lundy is different from any other island and that it is a wonderful part of the country. Situated off the coast of North Devon, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Bristol Channel with nothing between it and America. A natural beauty, remote and tranquil, without roads, cars or pollution.
Why does it take so long to walk a mile on the Island? Not because the going is hard but because there are so many reasons to stop. Enjoy the magnificent views of inlets, caves, rock stacks, screes, crags and buttresses on the west side. See the Lundy cabbage which grows nowhere else in the world. Other marvels abound, there are some three hundred different flowering plant, sika deer, soay sheep, Lundy ponies, mountain goats, grey seals, basking sharks, dolphins and birds so rare that they bring bird watchers to Lundy from all over Britain.
