Pubs on islands
I'm wondering if the pub and restaurant on Inchmurrin in Loch Lomond is the only licensed premises on a freshwater island in the UK.
Anyone know of another?

I wasn't really asking for a pass. Are you under the mistaken impression that it is accessed by bridge?

I was, but you've disabused me of that with that thrilling video.
Any others?

That appears to be a chain ferry, more technically known as a "floating bridge" so you might not technically have been wrong to think it was connected by a bridge ;-)
Someone from IoW Council will be along shortly to offer £3.5m for it to replace Floating Bridge no 6. ;-)
