 Flatholm Island |
 Steepholm Island |
A firm family favourite, the tour includes travelling close inshore under the steep cliffs and headlands of both islands.
A journey of around 20 nautical miles.
We stop many times to
allow for
photo opportunities and our knowledgeable crew will be happy
to answer
any questions you may have.
Rudder rock gun
battery
and
caves are located on the south west corner of Steepholm.
These WW2
emplacements are found on both islands and helped protect the sea
convoys returning to America
that were marshalled in the Bristol
Channel. Some of the Luftwaffe pilots were shot down by anti aircraft
fire
and one gun still exists overlooking rudder rock. The pilots were
kept on Flatholm and their barracks are still as they left them over 60
years ago.

Many
bird species make
the
islands their home at various times of the year and hundreds of
seabirds can be seen circling the high cliffs on most days. In July
& August Atlantic Grey seals regularly fish along the shingle beach
just North of Steepholm and have even been seen in Cardiff Bay.
Great
care is being taken
to
protect both islands and the historical features on both are looked
after by
The Flatholm Project and The Kenneth Allsop Memorial Trust.
