PRACTICALITIES
WHEN
The main dive season is from March
to October, although, weather
permitting, it is possible to dive all
year round.
HOW
In summer, from March to October,
Lundy’s own supply ship and ferry,
the MS Oldenburg departs several
times a week from either Bideford
or Ilfracombe in north Devon. Or
you can travel over with a dive
operator or bring your own dive
club rib. In winter, from November
to March, a helicopter service
operates between Lundy and
Hartland Point in north Devon on
Mondays and Fridays.
STAY/DIVE
There is a surprisingly large variety
of options, from field camping to a
spot of luxury at Millcombe House,
a Georgian rectory with stunning
views down a wooded valley and
out to sea. Another interesting
option is Old Light Cottage standing
on the highest point of the Island,
Beacon Hill, 142 metres above sea
level. If you don’t want to self-cater
head to The Marisco Tavern serving
a great selection of food.
