Bardsey Island, Wales, UK

Known as the “Island of 20,000 Saints,” Bardsey is steeped in spiritual history and natural beauty. Accessible only by boat, it lies at the edge of Wales, offering a deep sense of solitude and reflection. The island has long been a place of pilgrimage, with ancient ruins and legends woven into its windswept landscape. Bardsey is also an official National Nature Reserve, recognized for its exceptional biodiversity. While it's especially important for rare and migratory birdlife, the island is also home to marine mammals like seals and porpoises, as well as fragile plant species that thrive in its unique coastal environment. It’s a sanctuary where nature flourishes largely undisturbed — a rare opportunity to experience the wild rhythms of land and sea.
