Nestled between Wales and the North Devon coast in England, Lundy is the largest island in the Bristol Channel.

2. WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Nestled between Wales and the North Devon coast in England, Lundy is the
largest island in the Bristol Channel.
In 2005 it was named as Britain’s 10th greatest natural wonder in a poll by the
Radio Times, due to its astounding natural beauty and small size of roughly three
miles by half a mile.
Sailing from either Bideford or Ilfracombe, the MS Oldenburg ferries passengers
and supplies to Lundy at least three times per week, with the crossing itself taking
roughly two hours each way.
Although English is the first language on the island, the Cornish language is
spoken throughout the region.
