Outstandingly beautiful | Uncrowded & unspoilt | Mildest climate in the UK Island hopping | Fun on and in the water | Food, glorious food | Gentle pace of life

Floating just off the Cornish coast, this archipelago may be a quick hop from the UK mainland, but it is a world apart. It’ s untouched, unhurried and unbelievably beautiful.

With only five inhabited islands, the other 140 plus are home to wildlife and seabirds. A network of ferry boats make island hopping effortless and are one of the greatest pleasures of the enchanting Scillies.

St Mary’ s is the largest island and gateway to the rest. Here, Hugh Town has several shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and art galleries plus three nearby beaches- Porthcressa, Town Beach and Porthmellon. In nearby Old Town there’ s a noteworthy beach and nature reserve.

St Agnes

Subtropical Tresco boasts Bronze Age burial sites, romantic castle ruins, secluded beaches, scenic trails and world-famous Abbey Garden.

Tiny St Martin’ s enchants with crystal-clear waters, idyllic beaches and a peaceful atmosphere making every visit unforgettable.

St Agnes is totally untamed and astonishingly peaceful. Strewn with paradise beaches and an inland patchwork of flower fields, it’ s joined to its closest neighbour, Gugh by a sand bar at low tide.

Bryher, the smallest of the inhabited islands, is a rugged island of vibrant contrasts. Explore its rocky coves, laze on white sandy beaches or hike up the small granite hills for far-reaching views.

From shipwreck treasure and burial chambers to deserted villages, these isles have bucket loads of history. Watersport enthusiasts can hire a kayak, SUP or boat and experience close-up the amazing aquatic environment, while landlubbers can stroll coastal paths, hire a bike, and gaze at swooping seabirds or seals in the surf.

Tantalise your tastebuds with the catch of the day or tender islander beef, tuck into a handmade ice cream, sink a locally brewed ale and raise a glass of St Agnes gin or Scilly wine. It’ s fair to say the local fare represents the ultimate in slow food and low food miles!
