Drake's Island - just 600 yards from Plymouth - is now for sale. It was used as a military defence for hundreds of years - with 18th century canons included in the price.
A six-acre island off the Devon coast - complete with private beach, fortifications and planning permission for a luxury hotel - has been put up for sale. Drake's Island, just 600 yards from Plymouth, was used as a military defence for hundreds of years - with 18th-century cannons still in position and included in the sale. It takes less than 10 minutes to reach by boat and once on land there is military history everywhere.
What we really need is the island to be taken forward and someone who has got the budget to be able to do that.' The island - named after Sir Francis Drake who set sail from it to circumnavigate the globe in 1577 - has no fixed guide price but renovation costs are estimated at around £25m. Ali Rana from property consultants Carter Jonas is leading the sale.
