Bardsey Island (Ynys Enlli) lies
across the Sound about two miles (about 3km) off the
tip of the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales.
It is
1.5 miles (2.5km) in length and, at its widest point,
it is just over half a mile (1km) across. The mountain, Mynydd
Enlli, rises to a height of 167m. It covers an
area of 180 hectares, most of which is farmed.
The island was bought by the Bardsey
Island Trust in 1979.
It is managed by the Trust
in conjunction
with the Countryside Council for Wales and
CADW. Bardsey is a National Nature Reserve, Site
of
Special Scientific Interest and part of the Llyn
Environmentally
Sensitive Area.
