Steep Holm - Uphill's Neighbouring Island

Date Published: 5th April 2024

Steep Holm, that small island in the Bristol Channel, is owned and managed by the Kenneth Allsop Memorial Trust. It lies nearly six miles offshore from Uphill. Although relatively close to areas of high population and the busy shipping channel, Steep Holm is isolated by brisk tidal currents and is a difficult landing place. Despite and indeed because of its isolation, Steep Holm is a rewarding place to visit.

There is a chance to find out more about the island and the visitor experience at this year's Uphill Annual Village meeting when there will be a presentation by  Stephen Parker Chair of the Kenneth Allsop Memorial Trust.
