Tiny island has one of UK’s ‘most remote pubs’ you can only access by boat
Everyone has a favourite local pub, but these watering holes are a little more off the beaten path.
Most people in the UK will have a favourite local pub, perhaps the one closest to their house that they can nip in for a pint or a meal.
With so many pubs scattered across the country, you’re never far away from a pub - but some pubs have become famous for being as far away from civilization as possible.
The experts at hospitality payment company Dojo have compiled a list of the UK's most remote pubs - all of which are only accessible by boat.
Perched atop Holy Island - also known as Lindisfarne - is a charming little pub that can only be visited at certain times in the tide.
This little island off the northeast coast of England is only accessible at low tide and in the winter months high winds and drastic weather can impact this.
Luckily, the Ship Inn offers overnight stays to guests where you can sample the in-house distilled Holy Island Gin and enjoy some of the traditional pub fare.
This tiny island is home to just 60 permanent residents who call the Puffer Bar their local.
Located off the west coast of Scotland, the island is car free so anyone wishing to visit has to jump on the ferry which can only carry ten people at a time.
The journey is just five minutes and the ferry runs every day until 11pm. However the Bar itself closes for the winter season - so if you want to visit make sure you bookmark it for the summer.
The second Ship Inn to be named on the list is located in Barrow-in-Furness on a tiny island only 26 acres in size. Those wanting to visit have to take a ferry which runs daily from 11 am to 4:30 pm. The Ship Inn has 4.7 stars on Google Reviews, and visitors have commented that they had a ‘fantastic experience’. The island does offer camping facilities, so visitors can stay the night on the island, but remember to pack a torch!
Beese’s Riverside Bar is located on the river and those wanting to visit can book a local ferry ride to and from Beese’s for as little as 50p. The ferry leaves from Bristol and drops visitors off at Beese’s Riverside Bar. The bar is just 5 miles out from Bristol city centre so is easily accessible for those wanting to visit.
