Lundy is wildly different from your average village. For starters, it’s only about three miles long and half a mile wide. And yet, it’s got its own pub, a church, a lighthouse, and—yes—a permanent community.
Roughly 28 people call Lundy home year-round. Imagine having fewer neighbors than you have fingers on both hands! That’s not a town; that’s more like a very cozy, windswept family reunion.
Who Are the Islanders?
Most of them work for the Landmark Trust, which owns the island. They’re rangers, farmers, pub keepers, and maintenance folks. Think of it as a job where your commute involves a boat and your office is a cliffside.
Living there isn’t a vacation, though. You can’t just pop to the shops—the supply boat only comes a few times a week. And if the weather gets rough? You’re stuck. That’s a level of commitment most of us wouldn’t sign up for, right?
