Lundy island stands in the mouth of the Bristol Channel, thirteen miles NNW of Hartland Point on the North Devon coast and thirty two mile SSE of St.Govan's Head on the Welsh coast.

 

Lat  51.1666667 N

 Long 4.6666667 W

 

Predominately granite, Lundy is 5km long and  1.25km at its widest. 

The island is a plateau rising four hundred and seventy feet above the sea to its highest point, Beacon Hill.

Near North Light is the cave known as the 'Virgin's Well'.

'At one place a projecting promontory is pierced by a sort of tunnel 60feet in height and about 800 feet in length, through which a boat can sail at high water; but the most interesting fact connected with it is, that a spring of fresh water rises in it's centre, bubbling up through the sea water, and is called the Virgin's Well.' - J.R.Chanter

 The pure spring is only uncovered by the salt water of the sea at low tide. Local traditions link the spring water on Lundy with the springs on Dartmoor by means of underground, and indeed undersea, tunnels. Alfred Watkins and other researchers of ley lines have found that sites connected by ley lines but not in line of sight have legends of being connected by underground tunnels, tunnels which often pass under water as well as land.
