We spent a stunning 12 hours on Steep Holm. Just spend all day investigating the entire island. There are paths and ruins everywhere. From a ruined medieval priory, to Victorian and WW1 gun emplacements or look-outs.

“
Have been wanting to visit Steep Holm for many years and at last we made it. A truly wonderful place, the wildlife and history fascinating, and excellent information boards at the visitors centre housed in the old barracks.
