Description

The Västra Skällön nature reserve consists of ancient grazing land and the surrounding waters.

Trees are dotted across the island, as well as juniper and denser thickets of blackthorn, hawthorn and rose hips. The beaches are stony with some gravel, but there are also areas of coastal meadow. There is a road link to the island.

The rules for the nature reserve are shown in the link below, but, for example, dogs and cats must be kept on a lead and you are not allowed to pitch a tent or park a caravan for a long period, drive a motor vehicle, park other than in designated places, or light a fire other than in a place designated for the purpose.
