Skokholm

Skokholm on the Pembrokeshire coast is a great place to watch sea birds in the summer. It's the ultimate get-away from it all experience.

"Rocky islands are great places to explore particularly for sea birds. These islands have some of the most stunning scenery and wildlife of the UK - to see the best of it, you will need to take a boat trip.

"Just imagine stunning scenery, summer sun sparkling on the sea, a glimpse of a shark maybe, and a colony of the world's most loved seabirds."
