Meet the family who live on an island only accessible twice a day and has just five children in the local school.

The Mundys moved to Holy Island in late 2022 as part of a campaign to address the shrinking and aging population.

Up to 800,000 people visit the island off the coast of Northumberland each year - but it has a population of less than 200 people.

The tide permits crossings twice daily, with the road being underwater the rest of the time thanks to a tide which moves forward by around 40 minutes every day.

Andrew Mundy, 40 and his wife, Victoria, 36, have owned the Pilgrims Coffee House & Roastery on the island for 18 years.
