Fifteen miles out into the
Atlantic is the unspoiled, granite island of
Lundy, just three and a half miles long and
half a mile wide.
Owned by the National Trust, it issues its own
stamps even though it only has a few human
inhabitants.
The car-free island is a haven for puffins and
was named after the old Norse word for the
colourful seabird. |

Marisco Castle dates to
the 13th century.
Nearby lies 11th century Chambercombe Manor,
set in four acres of beautiful gardens, and
19th century Watermouth Castle, which offers
ingenious activities such as a dungeon
labyrinth, a fountain show, a land of gnomes
and a children’s ‘Merry-go-land’. |
