We swapped city life for a tiny island with more sheep than people

Lois Roberts and Aron Llwyd, a 29-year-old couple from Cardiff, have transitioned from seasonal assistant wardens to full-time permanent wardens of Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) in Gwynedd, swapping city life for a sustainable, nature-focused existence on the island—home to a year-round population of four, 200 sheep, and thousands of seabirds. Responsible for maintaining island properties, expanding solar power, and preserving the island's unique history and International Dark Sky Sanctuary status, the couple expresses no plans to return to city life anytime soon.
