South Bishop is a small island located off the coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and is known for its rugged cliffs, diverse bird population, and historic lighthouse. The island is uninhabited and is only accessible by boat.

South Bishop is a popular spot for birdwatching, with species such as puffins, guillemots, and razorbills nesting on the cliffs. The island is also home to a colony of grey seals, which can often be spotted lounging on the rocky shores.

The South Bishop Lighthouse, built in 1839, is a prominent feature on the island. It stands at 33 meters tall and is still in operation today, guiding ships safely through the treacherous waters of St. George's Channel.

Visitors to South Bishop can explore the island on foot, taking in the stunning views of the surrounding coastline and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of this remote island. It is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to experience the beauty of Pembrokeshire's coastal landscape.
