I'm pretty sure Flat Holm is part of Cardiff - Steep Holm is in
England but it also isn't in Bristol as far as I know. There's
definitely something weird going on with the boundaries there but it
also looks like nothing has changed around there in a while. Curious.

It's on the Welsh side of the national boundary but also in South West England City of Bristol. This is either a map error with the Welsh boundary or a legal anomaly I don't know which.  If it's one of those legal quirks then wouldn't it be better as an exclave of England in Wales?
