Uncover why Walneyites love their little identified island within the far south west of Cumbria. From the unspoilt nature reserves that book-end the island to the distinctive structure of Vickerstown, this island on the tip of the Furness peninsula will shock you. It isn’t, repeat not, merely a suburb of Barrow in Furness!
This brief movie takes you across the island and in addition catches up with native artist Hannah Willetts to seek out out the place she features her inspiration and why she would not dwell wherever else!
Filmed August 2021
