The Isles of Scilly is made up of an archipelago of five inhabited islands, unique in character, along with numerous un-inhabited islands and islets.
St Mary’s
The largest island and the hub of island life, St Marys offers a cluster of shops, banks, restaurants, cafes, galleries and museum. Although just two and a half miles long, there is a great range of things to do including water sports, walking, horse riding and cycling (bike hire available).There are many white sandy beaches to discover and ancient sites to explore.
Tresco
The second largest island, most famous for the Abbey Garden and its great array of sub tropical plant species. This island also offers a museum, pubs, a small selection of shops and best of all more secluded beaches, great for rock pooling with the little ones.
St Agnes
This beautiful island is small in size but big in heart. It is only 1 mile wide but offers lots of beautiful scenery, The Turks Head pub, tranquil walks and more amazing beaches.
Bryher
Home to the smallest community of all the inhabited islands, Bryher offers a small selection of shops, cafes and restaurant. The west coast is incredibly rugged, taking the brunt of all the Atlantic storms, where as the east side is sheltered and overlooks the channel towards Tresco.
St Martins
The third largest island two miles in length, St Martins offers a pub, bakery, art galleries and its own vineyard. Wonderful walks through heath land can be enjoyed or why not role up your trousers and paddle in the azure waters.
