Our Beliefs
We are keen to preserve and protect the peace and tranquility of our wonderful village.
Visitors comment about the spirituality and other worldliness of Sunderland Point. The bird life is rich and diverse and many share our concerns as to how the ever greater visitor numbers and traffic across the Causeway has, and increasingly is, impacting this precious gem.
As a group we have no hidden agenda other than to protect Sunderland's environment, its unique place in the country and through that increase the rich environmental benefits. We aim to continue with what we have, if necessary, ‘preserve it in aspic’.
Sunderland Point is not a wild place, but has the appearance of wildness, it has been transformed into its present day by people and their business needs. These business needs no longer apply and its residents, who once made a living from here, do so no longer. We do not wish to change it further and are not interested in any financial benefit.
We are happy to share this place with a a wider public but sadly increased visitor numbers may damage the very environment we are trying to share! This is a dilemma.
This website is to celebrate the beauty and Heritage of our village. Look forward to stories and photographs of both the history and the beauty we experience daily.
