- Caldey Island lies off the Pembrokeshire coast near Tenby in south-western Wales. Separated from the mainland by Caldey Sound, a ferry service runs between Tenby and Caldey Island during the spring and summer months.

However, a monastery was founded on the island in the 6th century so the island has known a community of monks for centuries.
