A fascinating guided walk around the island.

Thursday 29th September

I’ve borrowed all of this article from the Cornwall Wildlife Trust Website.

The visit starts with the fun of a boat trip from Looe’s bustling fishing harbour. Once landed on the island you will be greeted by a resident Cornwall Wildlife Trust warden who will introduce you to the fascinating nature and history of the island. You will find out how the Atkins sisters bequeathed the island to the Trust and discover how work continues to protect and enhance the island’s wildlife. During the three-hour stay visitors will also have opportunity to quiz the warden about how the island is run without services such as mains water, electricity from the grid and of course, without shops! After the guided walk you will have around one hour to independently explore the island or join the warden for a slide show in Jetty Cottage.
