Boats sail to Skokholm from Martin's Haven on the mainland. Skokholm can only be visited (for landing) by members of the The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, who can book to stay on this island (the whole island is a nature reseerve, indeed its near neighbour Skomer and surrounding waters are a reserve and SSSI). This island was made famous by R S Lockley, a pioneering ornithologist, especially famous for his work on puffins and shearwaters, who wrote many books featuring this island, where he lived and researched for many years. In addition to the impressive numbers of breeding seabirds it is a good UK site for passage migrants; many rarities have been found there over the years.
