See Grassholm for yourself!
Join an RSPB guide on a boat trip around the amazing Grassholm Island. Whilst you can't land, it is possible to go around the island, in order to experience what is one of the most awe-inspiring wildlife spectacles in Wales. Thousand Islands Expeditions is running a new trip, in conjunction with the RSPB, which combines a trip round Grassholm with an afternoon on nearby RSPB Ramsey Island. For further details, including how to book, please visit our events page.
For details of other round trips on offer to Grassholm phone Thousand Islands on 01437 721721 or see www.thousandislands.co.uk
Grassholm is a remote offshore island supporting 39,000 pairs of breeding gannets. This is the third largest Atlantic gannet colony in the world, (behind St Kilda and Bass Rock), supporting in the region of 10% of the entire world population.
As one of only 23 gannet colonies in the UK and Ireland, Grassholm is of both national and international importance. It is an outstanding seabird spectacle, unrivalled anywhere in Wales for this species.
