Ynys Bery is a small island south of Ramsey Island, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Etymology

The island's name in Welsh means falcon's Island, according to an 1852 book,[1] but an earlier work of 1811 by Richard Fenton calls it the kite's island.[2]

History

Fenton, in 1811, describes the island, and its neighbour Ynys y Cantwr: {{quote|...with high craggy cliffs, producing a thick matted herbage mixed with scurvy-grass and the sea pink, affording pasture for a few sheep, and stocked with rabbits, puffins, elygogs, gulls and other sea fowl.[2]}}

In 1903, the S.S. Graffoe (a 2,996-ton steamship bound from Glasgow to Buenos Aires with coal) struck Ramsey Island and sank at the northern end of Ynys Bery. The wreck lies at a depth of 15 metres, and is one of many Pembrokeshire wrecks popular with divers.

Geography

Ynys Bery's highest point is 71 metres[3] (233 feet), the highest of Wales's islets.
