The Island

 

Flat Holm Island

 

Flat Holm Island is located in the Bristol Channel just five miles off the coast of Barry and Cardiff and is not connected to any mainland electricity grid system. It is a tiny island which has a wealth of history and wildlife. Throughout its history the island has been a sanctuary for Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, silver miners, smugglers and cholera victims.

 

There are various properties of historical interest around the island; including the Farmhouse, Fog Horn Building, Fog Horn Keeper’s cottage, Barracks, Lighthouse & various other ruined buildings, including wartime gun emplacements and a Victorian cholera hospital. Flat Holm is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Local Nature Reserve.
