Caldey Island

Temporarily out of stock

Caldey Island lies off the magnificent Pembrokeshire coastline on the west coast of Wales. It is one of Britain's holy islands. The Cistercian monks of Caldey continue a tradition which began there in Celtic times. Author, Chris Howells and photographer Ross Grieve have gained exclusive access to capture the daily life of the monks and their religious celebrations. The book also contains interviews with the monks and inhabitants and records the history of the island and its unspoilt wildlife. Illustrated with over 100 colour photographs, this book makes a superb gift for visitors to the island and people with interests in religion, history and wildlife.
