Join me as I spend a challenging winter week living in England's most remote off-grid cabin/house.
This converted pre-World War One built British Admiralty Lookout and Signalling Station is located on Tibbetts Hill on the uninhabited North End of Lundy Island.
Lundy is semi-wild island and a Nature Reserve, located 20 minutes by helicopter or 3 hours by ship from the English mainland west coast.
The island is situated strategically between the Bristol Channel shipping lane and the Atlantic Ocean, making it of interest to the British Royal Navy during the 17th - early 20th Centuries, including during World War 1.
Tibbett's Admiralty Lookout on Lundy is a UK Grade Two Listed Building, and has been fully restored to its 1906 former self by The Landmark Trust, it is now a self contained tiny house, completely off grid and over 30km from the nearest mainland facilities.
In my House Tour I show that Tibbetts has no electricity, it is lit by victorian era gas lamps, and has a coal fire for heating. Despite this it is remarkably homely and comfortable and perfect for Off Grid Living
Today Lundy has just 25 permanent residents, all of whom live in the village on the south end of the island.
In this video I show how to live in comfort in this isolated off grid house, and during the week I explore some of the island's remote 19th century structures, and abandoned places such as the unmanned North Lighthouse built in 1898. I then have to shelter in place when the island is hit by a ferocious Atlantic storm for 24 hours, which delays my helicopter off the island.
