Ynys Eilun and Pont yr Eilun are two islets south-east of Ramsey Island, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Geography

Ynys Eilun is located about a quarter of a mile eastward of Ynys Bery.[3] Visiting the island is not easy because of its difficult landing.[4] The waters surrounding the island are swept by a northeast current caused by the island itself.[5]
