		These two islands and associated islets are separated from the mainland by Jack Sound, a narrow channel suffering extreme tidal currants.
		It is larger than the nominate species, with differences in teeth and skull bones and lives happily at a higher density, with a population of 21,000 living on the island (Flowerdew, pers.
		Gateholm is of national importance for its rock lichens and exposed rocky and boulder shore.

	The Magic Islands
		Sheep are grazed in the north east of the Island.
		The eastern side of the Island are the treacherous waters of Ramsey Sound, one of the strongest tides in Britain, and bringing many vessels to their grief.
		An Island half way out to The Smalls, and not often dived due to the fact that if the weather is good, most boats would head for the Smalls, another group of Islands further out to sea.

		The islands of Skomer and Skokholm can be viewed from most parts of the transect.
		The southern and northern cliffs of this transect are old red sandstone with limestone predominating on the peninsula area.

	sh: Discovering Our Coast - Brooke Bond
		Fingal's Cave on the island of Staffa - a little north of Ions - is the result of intense volcanic activity more than 50 million years ago.
		Although about 50 islands make up the Isles of Scilly - 45 kms south-west of Land's End - most of the population lives on the largest - St Mary's - and only four others are inhabited.
		In Douglas Bay - on the island's east coast - an apparently miniature castle rises from the water.

	Pembrokeshire National Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
		It's predominantly coastal based and contains a rich variety of landscapes of dramatic coastline and offshore islands, and the Celtic culture is an important aspect of Pembrokeshire life with Welsh spoken in many communities in the northern area of the Park.
		Fantastic cycling roads on this western part of the Celtic Trail, and always close to basking seals, small bays and ports, woolen mills, sheltered coves and sandy beaches, seabird colonies, stack rocks, high cliffs, hill forts, some fifty castles, and the ancient and submerged forests of Amroth, Manorbier and Newgale reveal themselves at low tide.
		Ramsey Island is just off St. David's and you can take boats cross the water to see the grey seals on the Island.

		Gateholm can be reached at low tide, named Goat Island by the Norse.
		The island is just out of Angle Bay, where ferry passengers for the Island are picked up.
		She lies to the SW of the island in 15 meters of water.

		Ramsey Island is opposite and the lifeboat station is at St. Justinians which itself is near the smallest city in Great Britain, St. Davids.
		Skokholm is very important as it is the home to tens of thousands of Manx Shearwater birds, a bird that leaves its burrow at daybreak, not to return until after dark in order to avoid predators such as the herring gulls.
		My son and I had come early to fish for mackerel, as did the men who can be seen on the rocky outcrop to the right of the boat.

	Living in the Past by Alf Alderson \| Travel Reviews from Travel Intelligence
		The waters around Skomer Island are designated a Marine Nature Reserve, with diving trails allowing divers to discover the wildlife here which includes rare northern coral species, whilst the savage winter seas of the area have resulted in a host of wrecks which also provide good diving.
		Beyond this you overlook Gateholm Island, which was once heavily populated and now has traces of over 130 Iron Age dwellings, until eventually you come to Renny Slip.
		The islands of Ramsey, Skomer and Skokholm are readily accessible to experienced kayakers, including the notorious Bitches Rapids in Ramsey Sound.

	Marloes Peninsular - Day 2 (Route)
		The island of Skokholm now comes into view and shortly you will also see Skomer, closer to the shore and to the right.
		In clear conditions it will now be possible to see the hump of Grassholm Island appearing from behind Skokholm (to the right).
		You should now be able to see Gateholm Island close to the mainland in front of Skomer.

	An Environmental Appraisal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
		Skomer MNR includes part of the Marloes peninsula from Musselwick Sands to the northern coast of Gateholm Island, in addition to Skomer and Midland Island.
		After Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel, Skomer was the second MNR to be designated and these sites remain the only two such protected areas around the coast of the UK.
		The whole of the north Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion coastline has a very high level of landscape quality and a wide range of conservation interests and the NT manages many sites in the region including the whole of Ramsey Island, which is leased to the RSPB.

		Between Ramsey Island and The Bishops: -02.55 H.W. Milford Haven N.E. 5kn.
		In certain seasons and in certain places access is controlled and even prohibited to protect seabird nesting colonies and grey seals which come ashore onto beaches and into caves to give birth and rest.

	BMLSS: Mollusca: Nudibranchia records
		Recorded at 20 metres depth, S.W. Gateholm, Pembrokeshire, on hydroid Nemertina ramosa with small coil of eggs present at the base of the hydroid.
		And it was on a patch of this silt between the boulders that the nudibranch was discovered at a depth of 8 metres.
		It has not been recorded intertidally, and its infrequency of reporting by divers maybe because it inhabits silty conditions which tend to be unpopular with divers because of their poor visibility when the silt is churned up, and because such sites do not prove as interesting as hard rock areas.

	Marloes Peninsular - Day 3 (Route)
		The island of Skomer should now come into view and, in good conditions, you may also be able to see Grassholm on the horizon midway between Skokholm and Skomer.
		As you approach the next headland you will see Gateholm Island (actually only separated from the mainland by the highest tides).
		Continue round the cliff path to come alongside Gateholm (a path leads off to the right towards Marloes).

	South Wales Sea Fisheries Committee
		Different subdivisions of the MNR (1,2 and 3) were considered, but the main area for fishing is around Skomer island, so there would be strong objections from fishermen to a closure of what they consider their prime grounds if that part of the MNR were chosen.
		When bad weather interrupts fishing either on the north side or south side then fishermen can still operate in sheltered conditions on the other side, so a north/south split (3) would not be acceptable to fishermen either.
		CCW showed a map of Skomer island with diving concentrated in certain areas.

		This beach is cleaner and sandier but is not ideal for bathing due to currents.
		At present, the perimeter track and main runways are still there and they provide easy access to the cliffs at the top of Marloes Sands.
		From here you can see Gateholm, Skokholm and Skomer islands and in the distance, on a clear day, the white-topped island of Grassholm, home to a huge gannet colony (no prizes for guessing what the white top is made of!).

	Trimarans & Sailing: August 2004 Archives
		I put this down to the funneling effect of the estuary and assured myself that it would not be so bad as we got further out to sea.
		This turned out to be the case and we enjoyed chasing after the next somewhat larger and faster yacht as we beat towards Gateholm Island and then alongside Skokholm Island.
		Still in the races we were having a lively time and the Magnum 21 perfomed spectacularly well handling everything that the Irish Sea could throw at her with aplomb.

		The offshore islands are of international importance for their breeding seabirds, grey seals and marine life, whilst the waters around Skomer Island have been designated as a Marine Nature Reserve.

		The islands are part of the Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve, the Loch Lomond Special Area of Conservation, and are designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
		Because of the current designations no one will be doing anything to them for at least 12 years and after that the NNR agreement would be up for renegotiation.

		Also, if you choose to land at the island’s quay, there is theoretically a ‘landing fee’ although they don’t tend to harass kayakers for this.
		The island is home to the world’s largest colony of Manx Shearwaters, whom you’ll meet out at sea by day.
		There is a colony of Puffins on the south coast, and you’ll almost certainly spot them bobbing around or flying in their usual unconvincing manner.

		The coastline is one of the UK's protected National Parks and a path runs along the coast giving very easy access to some very rugged coastal landscape.
		The islands off the mainland are also part of the park and are protected homes for the wildlife there - mainly birds and seals but there are also apparently turtles and porpoises in the surrounding waters.
		Boat trips are available to the islands - you can spend the day on the island of Skomer for example, which GaryB looks to have done (Garys thread)

		There are no facilities of any kind on the beach itself, but bathing is safe, and there are plenty of rock pools to be explored.
		Two of Pembrokeshire’s ‘Scilly Isles’, the nature reserves of Skokholm and Skomer, can be viewed from the cliff-tops, while at low tide it is possible to walk over the sands to the smaller Gateholm Island, which is in the care of the National Trust.
		The area offers excellent family bathing and is well-served at the northern end by beach shops, refreshment kiosks, toilets and a car park.

		This is where you would be if you did not come inland of the Island.
		The return run is identical but as you close on Sally Port stay close into shore so you do not feel the effects of the outgoing tide too much from Portsmouth Harbour.
		Skomer is a National Trust Island, so landing is at a premium.
