Isles of Scilly

A dream-like quality lost in time. 

The Isles of Scilly is an archipelago off the south-western tip of England. The islands have that special ‘step-back-in-time’ feeling and provide a taste of the timeless magic of childhood holidays. Amid wonderful scenery explore rock pools and endless sandy beaches, or enjoy nature trails, horse-riding or hire bikes.

The islands are a bird watcher’s paradise, with approximately 435 species, including Cormorants, Gannets, Oystercatchers and Puffins to name but a few. On the Scilly Isles everything revolves around the sea, so why not take the opportunity to spot some Atlantic grey seals? 

Inter-island gig races take place during the summer and they are a great spectacle to watch. Walk Scilly takes place in April and October, with guided walks. 

Eating out on the Isles of Scilly is an alfresco delight. What could be better than enjoying fresh fish and chips on the beach, gazing out at waters the same colour as those in the Caribbean? Or delicious freshly-caught lobster in a local restaurant?
