Description
Your adventure to Piel Castle starts via boat, which is the only way to the to the island off the coast of Barrow in Furness.
This 14th Century fortress was built by the local Abbot to help protect Barrow in Furness from pirate and pesky Scottish raiders arriving by boat into the harbour. Now very much in a ruined state, Piel Castle is open to visitors and the remains of the huge inner keep, curtain walls and outer baileys are still standing.
Although a small place, you might be pleased to know that there is a pub on Piel Island too!
