A six-acre island off the coast of Devon, which was bought for £6m five years ago, is back on sale.
Drake’s Island is named after Sir Francis himself, who set sail from there in 1577. It was used by the military until World War Two – protecting against French and Spanish invasion.
The site comes with a series of barracks, underground tunnels and fortified structures, with planning permission for a 43-bedroom luxury hotel.

I would live there.
Hope that it all works out good.
It's never going to happen ☹️
Tom Cheshire and sly news are snakes.
Aren’t they worried it’ll drown cause of global warming and sea level rising?
For six pence, perhaps?
I could definitely live there but not for £6 million far too expensive xx
Developers ruin everything.
a sinking asset, litterally.
The state won't buy it back lol
I’d be building a house and shutting myself off from the rest of the world if i had an island like that 😂
A wedding venue? That reminds me of an episode of Benidorm when they all got stranded.
😅😅😅15 resistant Ghost😅😅Make yourself known 😅😅😅
No one will build anything out there. It would cost to much to build anything there accept for the military to waste money.
Stop the boats and send them there !!
great until the dinghys start pulling up
Drake will buy it for his 16 year old friends 😂
Not really worth it if anyone can just pull up on a paddle board
Dan McCauley poke your island!
What is drake doing in Plymouth (it’s a joke)
Can put asylum seekers there
