  • Looe Island (Cornish: Enys Lann-Managh, meaning Island of the Monk's Enclosure), also known as St George's Island, and historically St Michael's Island is a small island nature reserve a mile from the mainland town of Looe off Cornwall, England. According to local legend, Joseph of Arimathea landed here with the Christ Child. Some scholars, including Glyn S. Lewis, suggest the island could be Ictis, the location described by Diodorus Siculus as a centre for the tin trade in pre-Roman Britain. The island is now owned and managed by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust charity where access (including landing on the foreshore and flying of drones over the island) is carefully managed for the benefit of wildlife and landing is only possible via the Cornwall Wildlife Trust authorized boatman. The waters around the island are a marine nature reserve and form part of the Looe Voluntary Marine Conservation Area (VMCA). First established in 1995, the Looe VCMA covers nearly 5 km of coastline and aims to protect the coastal and marine wildlife around Looe. (en)
