Description
Lundy: A Landmark 50 Years is a retrospective look at the significant changes that have taken place on Lundy Island over the past five decades. In 1968, the island was put up for auction after its last owner passed away, but it was Jack Hayward who ultimately purchased it and donated it to the National Trust. The book charts the island's transformation under the care of the National Trust and Landmark Trust, highlighting the conservation efforts that have made Lundy a thriving wildlife and marine reserve. With new photographs and insights from Simon Dell, this publication celebrates 50 years since Jack Hayward's landmark purchase, offering a unique perspective on one of Britain's most fascinating islands. Through its pages, Lundy: A Landmark 50 Years explores the island's history, people, and place, providing a valuable record of this remarkable conservation success story.
