, Bardsey Island, Gwynedd Wales UK Website
Bardsey Island lies just two miles beyond the tip of the Llˆyn peninsula. It has a long history and is noted for its wildlife. At one time it was a sanctuary of saints and 20,000 are said to be buried here. The remains of St Mary's Abbey are still standing. The island was farmed until recently but there are some very natural areas which have never been worked. It is now owned by the Bardsey Island Trust which also manages the reserve. The varied habitats range from the small, gorse covered mountain down to the rocky shores. Some 2,500 Manx shearwaters nest on the island but the place is also an important research site since it is on the migration route of many birds. Large numbers of migrants are ringed here every year.
