A Ramble in 3 parts: 

Part 3: 

Piel Island via ferry from Roa Island Barrow-in-Furness 1mile

Driving across the causeway that links Barrow to 

Roa island

After parking at the ferry landing the ferry soon arrived from the island

There were only a few other passengers apart from myself making the crossing

This impressive motor boat came speeding past us with the RNLI lifeboat station behind

Arriving on the island

One of the main attractions here are the ruins of  Piel Castle, renowed as a great example of a 14th century castle....

....and again....

....and again

Of course the other attraction are the great views

....and again

....and again

 

....and again

 

The final attraction is the pub where the landlord is traditionally crowned as the King of Piel island and contains his throne!

However it was time for me to be heading back so foregoing the pub I was the only passenger on the returning ferry

Finally arriving back at the car on Roa island

This had been a really memorable day with three great contrasting walks on a perfect summer's day.

I would highly recommend all three!
