Once a golf course - Lundy Island
Once a golf course - Lundy Island
This is Ackland's Moor, the site of the island's now vanished golf course. Part of a move to encourage more visitors to the island, it lasted about a year, from 1927 - 1928. I wonder why? How many golf balls went flying out to sea before it became obvious that perhaps this wasn't the ideal place for a golf course. Time photo taken not available.
