Little now remains to guide the antiquary. Of St. Helen's Chapel, with an attached Oratory of St. Anne, only the foundations remain. A small square building called John o' Groat's house , at the N. end of the island, was perhaps a watch-house. The climate of Lundy is bleak and inclement. The westerly winds sweep in so fiercely, that there are frequent instances of cattle and stock being blown over the cliff.
Much fog prevails.
A wall across the island was begun by Benson in 1752, and divides the improved from the unimproved parts. Oats, barley, and potatoes are grown, and there is a considerable number of cattle and sheep. The Lighthouse , in the centre, and on the highest point of the island, was erected by the Trinity Board about 1819. The tower should be ascended for the sake of the magnificent view. The whole of the island is seen at once, with the distant coasts of Wales and of Devon.
