A private island retreat on the market for a staggering £3m has been branded a Welsh Alcatraz by holidaymakers who say: 'You'd have to pay me to live there'.
Thorne Island in the mouth of Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire lay derelict for 18 years until tech millionaire Mike Conner stepped in almost a decade ago.
Conner, 50, splashed out £500,000 on the two-acre island and the Napoleonic fort that sits on top, then spent another couple of million doing it up.
But after completing the job Conner is looking for a new project and hoping there's an eccentric recluse out there who thinks £3m is a drop in the ocean.
Locals are full of admiration for the conversion job on the Grade II listed building less than half-a-mile offshore from the quaint seaside village of Angle.
