Sheep Island (England)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Sheep Island is a small grassy area just over 1/4 mile (400 m) from the shore of
Walney Island, opposite
Snab Point. It is one of the
Islands of Furness and is in the Borough of
Barrow-in-Furness in north-west
England.
The island's geographic location is {{coor|{}_{}_{}_{}_{}_{}_{}_1000000|{}°{}′ {} {}°{}′ {}}}
(OS grid ref. SD 215639). Its area is about 15 acres (6 ha).
Sheep Island is accessible on foot at low tide from either Walney, or from Piel Island - a distance of about a mile (approx. 1.5 km). The island is uninhabited and there is no shelter.
