Lundy Island

27/01/2021

Lundy Island! An unspoilt granite outcrop just off the coast from Welcombe and (when we’re all back to normal) accessible for a day trip! The island is three miles long by half a mile wide and home to just a handful of inhabitants along with about 200 Atlantic Grey Seals ๐Ÿจ๐ŸŒŠ (closest I can find). It’s history of occupation dates back over 3,000 years ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. Notable episodes being…. marauding Vikings โš’๐Ÿง” in the ninth century whom gave the island the name ‘Lund-ey’ meaning Puffin Island ๐Ÿง (that look’s like a Puffin)… It was granted to the Knights Templar โš”๏ธ๐Ÿ›กโœ๏ธ in 1160 by Henry II…. and in 1627 the Sale Rovers (pirates from modern day Morocco) occupied the island and caused a bit of bother ๐Ÿ‘Š.
