Went up to Breakneck Ridge last weekend to see if I could swim onto Pollepel Island and visit Bannerman’s Castle, but the water was too cold. Will revisit soon when it’s warmer/or with a kayak.
And I wish! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll find some old artillery shells when I do make it onto the island, since the bigger castle was an armory!
I have been here several times. Mostly at night by small inflatable boat. To the above commenter you will not find unexploded ordanace come on now seriously also if so would you want to interact with such a item are you eod? until you see in person pictures do not do justice. safe exploring and enjoy
The photos are absolutely stunning. I want to go there now! Amazing also tell me you found buried treasure while you were scoping out the castle.
Haha thank you =)

Impressive post of the decayed space. I found it’s quite interesting to view the space/place through different lenses…http://wp.me/p3bwN9-2X
