Future proofing with scaffolding
Some of you might have seen that we recently invested in a large amount of scaffolding which arrived on Enlli towards the end of last year. By investing in this scaffolding we’ve made it much easier and quicker for major building work to take place on Enlli.

Sky Events on Pen Llyn
As part of celebrating our Dark Sky Sanctuary status, and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, we held several mobile planetarium sessions across the Llŷn Peninsula in October. The night sky was projected up onto the dome ceiling of the mobile planetarium, meaning regardless of cloud coverage outside people were able to learn about different constellations, their names and mythology.

Who were the Kings of Enlli?
There have been many who have claimed or been recorded to have been the King of Enlli at one point in history. According to a reference in William Bingley’s ‘North Wales’ book, published in 1804.

The life of an Enlli Warden
There are patterns to life here, some as obvious as the pattern of the ebb and flow of the tides, others only now manifesting themselves in the middle of our fifth winter. It is the week before Christmas as I write, and we are hoping for an opportunity to cross the Sound to spend the festive season with our families. At the moment, there is only wind forecasted; the only certainty on Enlli is that there will be uncertainty! We might be here on Christmas day!

Spirit and the Stars
It’s almost impossible, I think, to stand under a dark, star-spangled night sky and not find ourselves saying “Wow!” It’s a universal reaction, which doesn’t diminish no matter how many times we experience it.

Enlli and the Arts
Few places in Wales catch the creative imagination as Enlli does. T Gwynn Jones gazed across at an island where twenty thousand saints lay and Dilys Cadwaladr, the first woman to win the Crown at the National Eisteddfod, taught at the school in the 1940s. The murals at Carreg bear witness to artist Brenda Chamberlain’s most productive years.
