Lying in the Celtic Sea two miles off the southwest Pembrokeshire coast, Skokholm has its own charm and sense of remoteness with tall, sandstone cliffs and a wild landscape.

There are never more than 26 people on the island, that’s 10 acres of space for every visitor!

Connecting the Future - Nature Reserve Highlights
WTSWW’s ‘Connecting the Future’ project has allowed the Trust to invest in essential infrastructure work and equipment to enable them to maintain and enhance their valuable sites in south and west Wales so that they can continue to operate as key components in the Welsh nature network.

Applications for some large infrastructure projects are decided by Welsh Ministers instead of the local planning authority. These include energy projects, roads, railways and airports, dams and reservoirs and certain waste facilities, subject to various thresholds, and are called Developments of National Significance (DNS).
