'Rosemary Howard-Jones' known as Ray Howard-Jones, (30 May 1903 - 25 June 1996), was a prolific English painter best known for her impressionistic seascapes and paintings of the coastline of Wales, particularly of the areas around Skomer and Marloes.
The reserve completely surrounds the islands of Skomer and Middleholm, and encompasses the mainland coastline around the end of the Marloes peninsula, including the small bay of Martin's Haven.
