Find out all about the wildlife and history of Skomer Island - one of the most important seabird sites in southern Britain with maritime grassland, lush inland vegetation, bubbling streams and man-made ponds supporting a host of wildlife including Atlantic Puffins, Manx Shearwaters, Guillemots, Razorbills, Skomer Voles and much more.

We have lots of exciting events planned for 2025 - please find details of these below!

With nearly 350,000 breeding pairs of Manx Shearwaters, over 43,500 Puffins, thousands of Guillemots, Razorbills and Kittiwakes and hundreds of Fulmars, Skomer is an internationally important seabird island.
It is also located less than a mile off the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast making it a great place to visit for the day or stay overnight.
