Skomer Island, located off the coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales, is a wildlife haven known for its diverse seabird population, including puffins and Manx shearwaters. The island also boasts unique species like the Skomer vole and supports a rich lichen flora. Managed by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, Skomer Island is open from late April until September, with the puffins being seen from May until August. It is possible to stay on the island, which means you can spend time at the colony once all the day trippers have left the island. If you want to stay, you need to book when the bookings open in October, as they go quickly.
