RARE Images of John Lennon's Private Island!

Discover the fascinating story of John Lennon's ownership of Dorinish Island, a remote 19-acre retreat in Ireland’s stunning Clew Bay, County Mayo. Purchased in 1967 for just £1,700, this uninhabited island, dubbed "Beatle Island," was envisioned by Lennon as a peaceful hideaway for his family and later as a potential retirement haven with Yoko Ono. Explore how Lennon’s dream of building a home was interrupted by his divorce from Cynthia, leading him to offer the island to Sid Rawle, the "King of the Hippies," who established a commune there from 1970 to 1972. Despite plans to revive the project before his tragic death in 1980, Lennon’s vision never fully materialized. Learn about the island’s history, from its use by marine pilots in the 1800s to its current role as a grazing site for sheep, and hear Yoko Ono’s reflections on its tranquil beauty. This video includes rare archival footage, aerial views of Dorinish, and insights into Lennon’s Irish heritage and his connection to this wild, windswept paradise.
