A Lighthouse Keeper's guided tours. Episode Twenty Six. North West Wales, Bardsey Island.

This is now up in the North West corner of Wales. Going offshore to Bardsey Island and its Lighthouse.
The Lighthouse isn't open to visitors, but the Island is seasonally. It is well worth a visit, either for the day trip or you can rent some of the buildings there for longer Holidays via the Badsey Island Trust.

Great video and photos. Emptiness is a smell, an unlived in place does have a distinctive smell and atmosphere compared to lived in and in particular cared for accommodation.

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you very much , and yes, quite a horrible smell. Cheers and stay safe.

A Very Happy Saint Patrick's Day Peter ☘️

[@PeterHalil]

[@SF-gn6uw]

thank you so much for going to the trouble!

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you for liking it. Cheers and take care.

Glad the lens is on display and preserved, its very unusual to have a square tower - quite handsome. Seabird Pie? That would have been ready salted, I suspect it smelled musty. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@PeterHalil]

Yes, eating the wildlife! mmm, not something I've ever contemplated. Square Tower, yes very rare, Holyhead breakwater comes to mind, but certainly not usual. Cheers and stay safe.

Good for you, you featured a LH close to Ireland on St. Patty's day.

[@PeterHalil]

Thanks, but poor luck. Cheers and stay safe.

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you , no I didn't ever get posted here but when I was posted to Holyhead control Centre we used to visit quite often to give the place TLC after it was automated. cheers and stay safe
