A Place Apart

By Linda Tancs

It’s a place apart, an unspoiled and uncluttered island where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Bristol Channel.   Situated off the coast of Britain’s North Devon, it’s Lundy Island.  The views, needless to say, are amazing–even more so from the helicopter that runs this time of year (November to March) from Hartland Point on Mondays and Fridays.  It’s the only way in until the MS Oldenburg starts running from April to October.  A favorite of day trippers, you can also rent a self-catering property for a longer break; the options range from a 13th century castle to a fisherman’s chalet.
