About this subsection
Lundy is located in the Bristol Channel approximately 18km off Hartland Point. The island is 5km-long by 1km-wide, surrounded by 15km of coastline of steep slopes and cliffs rising approximately 110m from the sea.
The coast and waters of Lundy are ecologically rich and legally protected for their internationally important wildlife value. A Marine Conservation Zone extends around the whole island, which was Britain’s first ever ‘no take’ zone, where fishing or the collection of wildlife is against the law. The North Devon UNESCO Biosphere Reserve’s transition zone also stretches out to Lundy.
Apart from maintaining the landing bay, there is no intervention policy to manage coastal flooding or erosion on Lundy, due it’s natural character, the limited number of buildings and general lack of coastal flood or erosion hazard.
