The global downturn has resulted in an increase in the number of private islands being put on the market, with some costing just tens of thousands of pounds.
The less-than-temptingly named Hurricane Hole, actually a secluded and sheltered island in Nova Scotia, Canada, is on the market for £23,000. Nearby is Little Rocky Island, which would cost you £54,000. Mannions island in west Cork will set you back £120,000.
