LAMB HOLM No blockships remain visible at Barrier No.1, which blocks Kirk Sound, the entry route of the German submarine U47 in 1939. There are however still interesting bits of ships for divers to explore. Barrier No.1 is also popular for sea angling, as the deep water and food from the nearby salmon farm attract fish.

Apart from the Italian Chapel, Lamb Holm has a derelict pier and a large quarry used in the construction of the Barriers. The quarry now has a Lobster hatchery, while most of the island is a grass airstrip. The remains of a World War II coastal defence battery lie east of the quarry.
