Flatholm: Island of Peace and War

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A rocky outcrop in the Bristol Channel, Flatholm has been a retreat, a fortress, a refuge for wrongdoers, and a place of quarantine. Marconi sent his first radio transmission over the sea from Flatholm. All this and yet the island is less than half the size of a golf course.
