Drake's Island to open doors for public tours again after 30 years

The famous island fortress and museum, Drake's Island named after Sir Francis Drake, located near the Plymouth coast, was recently bought by businessman Morgan Phillips who is reopening the museum to public tours after more than 30 years. While the upcoming tour will be a one-off, Phillips has stated he aims to permanently open the island for public tours eventually.
