England Island for the price of an apartment


England Island for the price of an apartmentThe well-known island-fortress Stack Rock Fort has been put up for sale at a very ridiculous price...
The island-fortress Stack Rock Fort is up for auction in England. In principle, there is nothing surprising in this, and in the modern world you can buy not only an island-fortress, but also anything you want if funds allow. So they are selling an island off the coast of Wales for the price of a one-room apartment in London.
According to The Independent, an island off the coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales (UK) is on sale for £400,000 - comparable to the price of a one-bedroom apartment in London. The entire territory of the island is occupied by a round three-story fortress, built in 1850 - 1852 to protect against the French invasion. The floors of the building are connected by spiral staircases. The fortress once had 16 guns weighing 18 tons each. The military garrison numbered 150 people. The journey to the mainland from the fortress takes only a few minutes by boat. Currently, the island is not suitable for habitation, but various projects can be implemented in the fortress, including for tourists: for example, building a cable car from the mainland, a hotel, etc. On the mainland not far from the island there are such tourist sites as the Pembrokeshire National Trail -Coast, deserted sandy beaches of Sandy Haven, Lindsay Bay, as well as Pembroke Castle 1093.
