From exceptional enclaves and secluded sanctuaries to awe-inspiring archipelagos and hidden havens, what is it like to live on one of the UK's 6000 teeny-tiny islands?
This edition takes a look at the lives of the residents of the Welsh island of Bardsey, which includes Gareth and his wife Meriel, who farm and run a small cafe from their house. Plus, exploring the Scottish island of Eriskay, which is just three miles long and one and a half miles wide, as well as the small island of Flat Holm, located just five miles outside Cardiff.
This episode catches car-free Sark's four-legged taxi service and meets Inishcorkish's special pigs in the Fermanagh Lakelands.
The custodians of Station Island, on County Donegal's Lough Derg, welcome over 10,000 people each year for a gruelling three-day pilgrimage without food or shoes. Roughly 150 miles to the north, Iona shares Station's monastic tradition. But life there is very different for Ailidh, who runs the island's unique takeaway.
