Barrow Walney Island Airport — Barrow-in-Furness, United Kingdom

Barrow Walney Island Airport sits on Walney Island off the coast of Barrow-in-Furness in northwest England. The site climbs to 173 feet above the shoreline below, where two runways handle traffic for a coastal community positioned along the Irish Sea in Cumbria. Its island location separates it from the town center by a short bridge crossing, an unusual setup among UK regional airports. Coded BWF, the airport handles general aviation and limited charter traffic rather than scheduled passenger routes. Barrow-in-Furness sits at the tip of the Furness peninsula, somewhat cut off from the rest of Cumbria by the surrounding hills and coastline, which gives this small airfield outsized importance for local air access.
