Ynys Enlli, or Bardsey Island, is one of the best places in the UK to see the northern lights (Image: Dafydd Wyn Morgan) The skies above the UK have been filled with the dancing Northern lights ( Aurora Borealis ) this year and this tiny Welsh island is one of the best places to see them. Known primarily for its birdlife and ancient Celtic monastery, Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island in English) is a remote island that's approximately 1.5 miles long and half a mile wide, with a wild and rugged terrain.
Thanks to its incredibly dark and clear skies, this tiny Welsh island is a fantastic place to see the Northern Lights, stars, and our home galaxy, the Milky Way. Found two miles off the Llyn Peninsula in northwest Wales, Enlli can only be reached by boat. What's more, its remote location and geographical features make it one of the darkest places in the UK, with almost zero light pollution.
A nearly 548-foot-tall mountain helps limit light from the mainland. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
