Rampside is the village that is located on Roa Island
There is a Quaker connection here, during the time of Fox there was a Thomas Lawson, a herbalist and botanist, was born at Rampside in 1630 and became minister at the village church. He invited George Fox to preach from the pulpit after one Sunday service, and subsequently became a Quaker himself in 1653. He published various religious works and died in 1691.

Nearley did not come here, just that Sue wanted to go to the end!!!! When we had come to a round about, Sue took the small road that hugged the coast and kept following it.
We eventualy came to Roa Island, we spoted the bus terning circle, which seemed to have been built on the widest bit of land, then things seemed to started, perhaps the word start is the wrong word to use, for the non existence of things, starting would be better to use if you were looking the other way. The road ended at some builders tape! looking round the builders rubbish, there seemed to be an absence ofanything. On the map it said the road ended in a pier and a ferry service? Definitly not there or running. They seemed to have lost bits of the promitry.

After looking around, or rather stairing out to sea in different directions we decieded it was time for lunch. We could not see anything, but then a couple came out of a shabby door, which said ice creams? We looked in, there was a wonderfull cafe/restuant hidden away inside, with half the tables saying reseerved. We had a light luch at Yorkshire prices, a real delight.
