Flat Holm Project
Target Group: N/A
Rich in wildlife, steeped in history. Just 5 miles from Cardiff and Barry, the tiny island of Flat Holm is a different world with a wealth of history and wildlife. You will be amazed at how much there is to discover.
Since Dark Age times, Flat Holm has been a retreat for monks and since then has acted as sanctuary for Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, silver miners, smugglers and cholera victims. Fortified in Victorian times and again in World War II it is perhaps most famous for receiving the first ever radio message across water sent by Marconi in 1897.
Flat Holm is now a site of special scientific interest and a local nature reserve.
The island is a haven for wildlife, home to one of the largest colony of gulls in Wales. There are many other animals to see including shelduck, slow worms and George, our wild tortoise. Spring and summer bring a profusion of rare and interesting wild flowers.
So follow in the footsteps of the first recorded welsh saint and visit the most southerly point in Wales. Walk over Viking bones and explore the Victorian gun pits before coming face to face with a gull chick or slow worm.
