#CastawayWanted- A castaway is wanted to take over the running of a remote island off the coast of the Llŷn Peninsula, Wales according to the Daily News.

Bardsey Island Trust wants a new manager who will spend 11 months a year living on the scenic island of Bardsey (Ynys Enlli in Welsh), which lies two miles off Aberdaron.

The job comes with some of the best views in Wales, a two bedroom cottage, peace to escape the mainland rat race and a £16,000 pay package.

But it is not all wilderness walks and glorious isolation as among the many duties with the role is office administration and emptying the island's public composting toilet.

Caroline Williams, from the Bardsey Island Trust, said: "This is a unique opportunity to work on a remote and beautiful island.

"There are really two parts to the job".
