| How can I
visit Steep holm?
Administratively,
Flat Holm is in Wales whilst its rockier neighbour is in England.
You can take
a day trip to Steep Holm but you need to travel to Weston-super-Mare
to get the boat.
Steep Holm
is larger than Flat Holm and well repays a visit. It has a visitor
centre, more Victorian barracks and many WW2 gun emplacements and
bunkers.
There is also
a vaied selection of bird and wildlife inncluding a colony of the
elusive Muntjac deer.
