  • The small island of Lundy, situated in the Bristol Channel, was one of the destinations for BBC West's Day Out series in 1978. Presenter Gwyn Richards sailed across to explore the tiny village and included a stop off at Lundy's post office - the home of the oldest private postal service in the world.
    Clip taken from Day Out: Ilfracombe and Lundy, originally broadcast on BBC One (South West), Tuesday 17 October, 1978.

      It’s a charming place, but do yourself a favour: If you’re going on a day trip, fly by helicopter from Hartland Point.

    My parents were there in 1960 while on their honeymoon! I've often wondered what it was like to visit - this was a pleasant and well produced piece. Thank you.

      I also fogot to mention the Premier Inn and Lundy Trump Golf & Country Club. The island is certainly more busy, developed, and gentrified since they built the North Devon to Lundy King Charles III Bridge.

    all those shoes ruined by seawater when alighting! the sun and bikini-clad swimmers made me wonder what temperature it was....probably only about 17C or so!
