Fancy living the island life? Here’s a dream opportunity for those with a sense of adventure and a love for nature. Ynys Enlli, also known as Bardsey Island, is calling for a family or couple with farming skills to manage its flock of 200 sheep and 25 Welsh Black cattle. This remote gem off the Llŷn Peninsula offers a lifestyle that’s completely off-grid—no electricity, no shops, no schools, and just a handful of residents.
Imagine living in wild beauty where the only “traffic” comes from migratory birds and grey seals? It’s a slice of heaven for those yearning for simplicity. You’ll be the island’s full-time residents, bringing a special touch to this community while also a part of preserving its unique culture and language.
The island, once a haunt for pirates and steeped in spirituality with legends of 20,000 saints, offers endless sky views and stunning sea vistas—all under Europe’s first Dark Sky Sanctuary. Life’s necessities are self-sourced here, with only basic amenities. But isn’t that part of the adventure?
With support from the Bardsey Island Trust and mentorship from current farmer Gareth Roberts, the transition is designed to be seamless. A handover period will set you up for success. Think you’re the right fit? The island awaits its new caretakers in 2026, with expressions of interest open until 7 November.
