Ram's Island, Lake island in Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland
Ram's Island extends nearly one mile in length and a quarter mile in width, forming the largest island within Lough Neagh's waters.
The O'Neill family constructed a summer residence on the island during the 19th century, while the Cardwell family maintained the property through the 1920s.
The island contains an early monastic settlement with a round tower, representing the religious heritage of Northern Ireland's medieval period.
Visitors can reach the island through boat services departing from multiple locations along the shores of Lough Neagh throughout the year.
The Royal Air Force used Ram's Island as a strategic base during World War II, utilizing its position for protection against western winds.
