Ramsey Island
Ramsey Island is a National Nature Reserve and RSPB reserve off the Pembrokeshire coast near St David's, separated from the mainland by the treacherous tidal races of Ramsey Sound. Covering approximately 650 acres, the island supports one of the largest grey seal colonies in the country, breeding choughs, peregrines and short-eared owls, and rare coastal grassland plants. The autumn seal pupping season when white-coated pups are born in the island's caves and beaches attracts considerable numbers of wildlife boat trips from St Justinian's on the nearby mainland. Boat trips to the island operate throughout the season allowing visitors to land and walk under RSPB supervision. The surrounding waters of Ramsey Sound are nationally renowned for wildlife boat trips offering observations of porpoises, dolphins, grey seals and seabirds.
