LUNDY ISLAND SHUTTLE SERVICE
At the point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Bristol Channel lies the most remarkable place.
An island of treasures, 3 miles long, 1/2 mile wide and an unspoilt haven for wildlife, both above and below the waves. Lundy Island lies 24 miles west of our home port of Ilfracombe, and was Britain's first statutory Marine Nature Reserve. The island is home to over 200 Atlantic grey seals and the Southwest's largest seabird colony. Depending on the time of year and weather conditions expect to see Puffins, Guillemots, Razorbills, Oyster Catchers and our favourite, Kittiwakes, with their raucous call. Higher up on the plateau the possibility of Japanese Sika deer, Soay sheep and death-defying feral goats perched precariously on the cliff face. At sea level we should see the fun loving Atlantic grey seals, many varieties of jelly fish and with luck, dolphins and porpoises, especially on the crossing.
Lundy is a place steeped in history from pirates, shipwrecks, treason and even a corrupt MP with the most ingenious smuggling operation. From the Norman Conquest to the present day all will be revealed as we cruise in comfort and style to the island, and explore the hidden treasures along the foreshore, and high above on the plateau from vantage points inaccessible from the land.
