Tidal island in Cumbria, United Kingdom
Piel Island lies half a mile (1 km) off the southern tip of the Furness peninsula in the administrative county of Cumbria, though historically within Lancashire, north of the sands. It is located at 54°3′50″N 3°10′30″W (OS grid ref. SD233637). It is one of the Islands of Furness. It is the location of the English Heritage-owned Piel Castle. The island is within the administrative boundaries of the mainland town of Barrow-in-Furness and is owned by the people of the town, having been given by the Duke of Buccleuch in the early 20th century. The Borough Council's administrative duties also include the selection of the "King" of Piel, who is the landlord of the island's public house, the Ship Inn. The area of Piel is about 50 acres (20 hectares). As well as the landlord and his family the island has three other permanent residents who live in the old Pilots Cottages. ....
