Skomer Island (5144'N., 518'W.) lies centered 1.5 miles W of Wooltack Point and forms a prominent feature when viewed from the N or S. It is surrounded by deeply indented precipitous cliffs which are nearly 60m high in places. The main part of this island is nearly level, but small rocky peaks, up to 70m high, are interspersed throughout. Garland Stone, a conical rock, lies close off the N extremity of the island and is 29m high. Mewstone, a conical and green topped islet fronted by rocks, lies close off the S extremity and is 57m high. The Neck, a small promontory, forms the E extremity of the island and is connected by a low and narrow isthmus. Midland Isle, 45m high, lies close E of The Neck and is separated from it by a narrow passage with a least depth of 2.7m.
