Return to Fabled Bardsey Island

The 'Island of Twenty Thousand Saints' - a lightly inhabited chunk of rock which sits in a boiling sea with sheer cliffs turned against the mainland of North Wales - is home to thousands of birds and hundreds of seals.

Here are some views.

Looking across Bardsey Sound to the mainland in the evening light. 

Looking from the western  tip towards the 'mountain'. 

A view of the Bird and Field Observatory at the Foot of the Mountain.





An ancient boundary.

Seals in the main island bay.
