Built at the beginning of the 14th century, Piel Castle once protected the local harbour on the island from Scottish raids. Stones from a nearby beach were used to construct the castle, which now belongs to English Heritage. Although the castle has suffered from sea erosion, the ruins are still a dramatic place to visit.

As the castle sits on an island, it can only be accessed by a small boat. For more information on ferry times, call Steve Chattaway (Ship Inn) on 07516453784 or Alan Cleasby on 07798794550.

Entrance to the castle is free and it's open during daylight hours.
