One of the best ways to explore & get to know Lundy is to go letterboxing. The adventure is colour graded with green (easiest) through to red (extremely challenging) that requires scrambling over rat island at low tide. There are 28 stamps to collect in total.

The incredibly rare Lundy Cabbage plant is endemic to Lundy. It also hosts Britain’s only endemic beetle the Bronze Lundy Cabbage Flea Beetle. The entire world population is restricted to a 2km section of Lundy’s east coast #Bristolchannel #botany #Lundy

The Lower East Side Path dates back to approx 1864 when the granite quarrying began. Cut when the island was leased, the south-east part was reserved for the Heaven family. #Lundy #Bristolchannel #island #footpath
