Ferndig Islands
Three miles across the water from the town of Blascottlies the group of islands known as the Ferndigs. The main island is St. Michael. Separated by a narrow channel of water is St Michael’s little sister, St Margaret. People first lived on these islands 1,500 years ago. By the 1950s the population had gone down to below twenty, and in 1960 the last person left the islands. But in 1991 two families moved back, and since then more people have followed. Tourists now visit regularly to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
(I) Visit the one shop on the islands which sell butter, cheese and bread produced by the families who live there. (II) The produce is also taken by boat to restaurants in Blascott, where it can be enjoyed by visitors to the area. (III) Perhaps more interestingly, a range of perfumes is made from the wild flowers and herbs which grow on the island and can be bought in the shop. (IV) They are produced mainly for export and are very special. So a visit to the shop is a must!
St Michael Island is easily explored on foot but, in the interests of safety, visitors are requested to keep to the main footpaths. From where the boat lands, walk along the cliff until you reach a steep path signposted to the church. When you get there, it is worth spending a moment in this lovely old building. Carry on along the same path which continues to climb to the highest point on the island. Priory Beach on the eastern side of the island is safe for swimming. Sandtop Bay on the western side is the other sandy beach, but swimming is not advised here.
It is possible to hire a boat to cross to the islands, or you can take one of the boat trips which depart from Blascott harbour in summer, Monday to Friday. The islands are always open to visitors apart from on Sundays. Buy a ticket for a boat trip from the kiosk in Blascott harbour. The charge for landing on the islands is included in the ticket but, if you take your own boat, remember to take some money. The crossing takes thirty minutes, and boats run every fifteen minutes. Before you set off on a trip, visit the exhibition centre which tells the history of the islands and gives information about birds and wildlife you may see when you get there.
Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?
The islands are known for their simple, rustic charm, with a strong sense of community and self-sufficiency among the families who live there.
