The Isles of Scillylie just 28 miles west of Land's End, yet despite just being a hop away they are a world apart. It is debatable whether the islands are technically in Cornwall but they should definitely be on the itinerary of anyone visiting this end of the country. Of course there are plenty of similarities with the mainland, but the Scillies t...
I'm sure I've probably said elsewhere that you can't top Cornwall's beaches. Well, there might be some serious competition with the Scillies being one of the few places that could out-beach Cornwall. To be honest it is pretty difficult to name any more beautiful beaches anywhere on earth. Think generous stretches of near-white sand lapped by clear ...
Scilly's second largest island Tresco is best known for its sub-tropical gardens set among the ruins of a medieval priory. The gardens were created by Augustus Smith in the 1830s who also built the house here - which is referred to as "the Abbey". The 17 acres contain a wide variety of exotic species, many of which do not grow elsewhere in the Brit...
Surrounded by some of the clearest and cleanest waters to be found anywhere the Scilly Isles are home to an abundance of marine life. Depending on the time of year there is a good chance of spotting giant basking sharks, furry seal pups and puffins. The best times to visit for wildlife are the late spring and early autumn, although you'll see plent...
It is thought that humans have been present on the Scilly Isles for around 10,000 years. The islands were a very different place back then; for starters the sea levels were so much lower that there was in fact only one island, Ennor. In fact it is possible they weren't islands at all at this point in time and were connected to the mainland. This wo...
The Scilly Isles are regarded as one of the best places for birdwatching in the UK. The islands are not only a breeding ground for a variety of seabirds but act as a stopover for migrating birds. However, what really draws the crowds are the unusual visitors which are frequently blown off course and onto the islands. Incredibly rare species such as...
There are five inhabited islands in Scilly and a total of around a hundred. So, a bit of basic maths tells us that there are quite a few uninhabited island. Don't get too excited as many of these are very much on the small and rocky side - they do however have some great names. My personal favourites include Daisy, Little Arthur and Illiswilgig. Ou...
Everyone has their favourite island, but you will have to visit them all to decide which is yours. Each island has its own distinct character and it charms, and it is well worth exploring beyond the relative metropolis (!!) of St Mary's to the tranquility of the lesser islands. Don't get me wrong, St Mary's is wonderful, and it is quite possible th...
Obviously this one isn't optional and will have its fair share of fans and haters alike. If you don't like flying (which I don't) then your options are rather limited. Short of sailing yourself over the chances are you will be booking a crossing on the Scillonian III - don't ask what happened to the other two (actually they retired!). Affectionatel...
Being the most south-westerly pub in the UK is a worthy claim to fame, but there's more to the Turk's Head than bragging rights. Sitting overlooking the quayside on St Agnes, this is possibly the finest pub on Scilly. So good in fact that residents of St Mary's have been known to make the trip over just for a couple of pints (Scillies residents don...
