It's on a remote island only accessible by ferry and with just a handful of residents - but this pub still manages to create a buzzing atmosphere that draws visitors by their droves in the summer. The tiny Piel Island is in Morecambe Bay, and the pub at its heart has just been taken over by its newest landlord.
The Ship Inn is on the island just off the southern tip of the Furness Peninsula in Barrow, Cumbria. And when Aaron Sanderson became the pub's newest landlord earlier this year he also took the crown of "King" of the 50-acre island.
Taking on the ten-year-lease for the pub also meant becoming "caretaker" of the island - and it's a role Aaron is already relishing. He's now aiming to bring a blend of live music and the pub's hospitality to a wider audience by giving the historic pub a bit of a makeover, reports Lancs Live.
