gradually appear on the horizon, forming a welcoming
cluster. Isles of Scilly Travel operates a passenger ferry,
the Scillonian III, which sails six days a week March to
October. Also, many cruise ship companies now include
the Isles of Scilly on their itineraries, providing a truly
distinctive way to arrive in, and to experience, our
amazing archipelago. You can, of course, also sail to the
Islands by yacht or motor-cruiser. There are many good

Travelling Tips:
Seeing Scilly
Making your holiday truly your own is one of
the things that sets the Isles of Scilly apart. Set
your own itinerary. Explore at your own pace.
Go where you want to go.
Exploring by Sea
Gently Does It... To appreciate everything that Scilly has to offer,
you must take to the water. With so many boats to choose from,
there is a wide variety of routes, destinations, and boats! Drop in
to the Tourist Information Centre, for advice on routes and times
that best suit your needs. Our boatmen take great pride in their
knowledge and experience, and may well put in an appearance at
your hotel in the morning to let you know when and where they
are going that day. Radio Scilly also provides boating updates in
the morning. Local Lingo: the term ‘off-Islands’ is used to cover
St. Agnes, Bryher, Tresco, and St. Martin’s.
Uninhabited Islands:
ands Th
The uninhabited Islands, with their raw,
rugged edges and unique flora and fauna, are best experienced in
one of two ways: via a guided tour or a scenic boat trip, discovering
the entire collection of uninhabited off-Islands and their marine
and bird-life.
Evening Trips: Exploring the Isles of Scilly is not limited to
the daytime. As the day slows down and the sun starts to set,
you can join a boat trip to watch the gig races on Wednesday
and Friday evenings, book a supper boat to an off-Island
eatery, or enjoy an evening fishing trip.
Wildlife and Marine Excursions: There are many ways to
enjoy the marine environment from the water: take a glassbottomed boat to visit the shallows and secluded coves; enjoy a
sea safari and explore the exotic marine habitats; cruise out the
six miles to Bishop Rock, the most south-westerly lighthouse in
the UK; book a wildlife excursion to experience the fascinating
bird and marine life throughout the islands.
Off-Island Excursions: Frequent inter-Island boat services
operate between all the inhabited Islands, throughout the day.
The boatmen will let you know return times, the appropriate
quays (some Islands have more than one quay, used at different
times, depending on the tides), and if the return journey is on
a different boat. On St. Mary’s, boat times are advertised at the
Isles of Scilly Tourist Information Centre on Hugh Street and
on the boards at the quay.
6
Experience the
Off-Islands
The off-Islands can easily be explored on foot or by bicycle.
With a few miles of surfaced roads, and dozens of footpaths and
trails, you can roam the heathlands and sweeping sandy bays
at an easy pace, with few steep climbs. If you have booked your
accommodation on the off-Islands, it is easy to use their boating
services. All operators offer a range of services, including special
hire, direct trips to other Islands, and circular scenic tours.
More often than not, your host will be
on hand to meet you and your
o
luggage at the quay and ensure your
arrival to your accommodation.

St Mary’s Boatmen’s Association The ten
boats of St Mary’s Boatmen’s Association offer
a comprehensive service to the off islands together
with a selection of wildlife and sightseeing trips.
www.scillyboating.co.uk
Discover St. Mary’s
There are nine miles of roads linking the Island’s settlements
and various coach, minibus and vintage car tours run during the
summer. Alternatively, hire a bike and explore yourself. Or, book
a private hire vehicle (there are no licensed taxis on the Isles of
Scilly) for a private tour. If you fancy walking, there are some
thirty miles of coastal paths and nature trails just waiting to be
discovered. St.Mary’s has many hidden secrets and the walks
around the coast and across the numerous trails that crisscross the Island are a delight. Explore the many contrasts from
woodlands, heaths and marshland to sand dunes with marram
grasses, thick with wild agapanthus flowers from South Africa.
Exploring the Isles of
Scilly is Truly Unique
Discover a different side to the Islands
Our boatmen are second-to-none in their
knowledge and skill. Discovering the Islands by
boat is an incomparably personal experience.
A gentle pace of life...
Our friendly tours and guided walks, led by local
experts, will take you to the principle sights, as
well as to the hidden ggems.
On your bike!
Hire a bike, or put on your walking shoes,
and explore mile after mile of pastoral trails,
taking you through the most fabulous Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty!
In the Scilly Isles, myth and
reality seem to blend in a
cocktail of romantic escape
Richard Wates, The Guardian
Simply
Scilly
Escape to a place where you can truly relax, where the pace
is dictated by nature, and life is shaped by the weather and
tides. No stress. No traffic jams. Step back in time, to discover
a place with few roads, miles of empty sandy beaches,
welcoming locals, and an array of new experiences.
It all feels quite intimate on Scilly. It is as if you’ve stumbled upon an idyllic
film set from a bygone era. From A-list celebrities to 30-year regulars, visitors come
to Scilly for the unique, timeless lifestyle and amazing environment. Go for a casual
walk on an empty, pristine white beach, rent a cottage with a private beach, or dine
locally on island-grown produce and traditional family recipes.
Making memories is a key pastime on Scilly. You may find yourself next to a
couple at breakfast who have been coming here, every summer, for the past 15 years.
The lady next to you at the bank may have been here 20 years ago when she was a
child, and is now bringing her children to the idyllic holiday destination of her youth.
On Islands where many businesses have been in families for generations, tour guides
have been honing their skills over decades, and craftspeople have adapted their wares
over many years, memories are made to last.

The whole of Scilly is a reminder of a slower, kinder and more genteel
England. Life goes on at a different pace here. Scilly allows visitors to tune in to
the rhythms of nature, despite the 21st-century approach that underpins much of
what we do. We still do lots of business using cash… and you can get internet wi-fi
coverage at many venues across the Islands. Many local craft and food producers
use honesty boxes when selling their wares… and lots of our businesses are on the
leading-edge of green and environmental practices. You may find the best of modern
technology in your room when you check in… and then discover someone using a
chocolate tin for boat ticket sales!
We take pride in our local produce on Scilly. You can buy Scillonian beef
or lobster to sizzle on the barbeque, take home some unique Island beer and wine,
savour local treats such as hand-made fudge, chocolate and ice-cream, and stop at
one of the farm stalls for rocket and raspberries, free range eggs, or freshly picked
fruit and vegetables.

Arriving on the quay of an off-Island, you may well wonder where the (single,
unnamed) road takes you. There are no bright, intrusive signs. There are no
highly polished thoroughfares. There are no loud and noisy theme parks or
tourist ‘attractions’. But you will find everything you could wish for… miles of
stunning beaches… incredible eateries… local arts, crafts, and produce…
marine adventures from diving and kayaking to glass-bottomed boating…
amazing walking trails and wildlife areas… family-friendly locals who
welcome you like one of their own.

ST MARY’S
Arguably the most
exotic place in all
of the British Isles
Martin Clunes
KEY FEATURE:
St. Mary’s, the largest of the
Islands, is only two-and-a-halfmiles wide by one-and-threequarters long. Hugh Town is
the small but thriving capital
nestling between two sandy
bays and is the hub of Island
life - with shops, restaurants,
pubs and cafés.
10
Step out of Hugh Town and you’ll find avenues of
elms, a network of nature trails, beautiful beaches
and a fascinating landscape in miniature. There
is a range of high quality accommodation, as well
as the main airport and quay.
%FTQJUF4U.BSZTCFJOHUIFCVTJFTUPGUIF
Islands, it still seems to belong to a gentler age,
where people go out of their way to assist you
and streets are lined with granite garden walls
sagging under the weight of flowering succulent
plants. Head ‘up country’ towards the golf course,
and you can walk right around the Island on
springy turf footpaths beside the sea, unaware
of a single car or bus. Stroll to Old Town, and
don’t miss the walk under the elms to Old Town
Church, where services are held by candlelight.
Explore Porth Hellick, with its Camel Rock and
excellent beach combing. Then back into town,
for a pint of real ale, a leisurely dinner, and a
deep refreshing sleep that owes itself to nothing
h pure sea air.
i St. Mary’’s is

Breathtaking
Beaches
The beaches around Scilly offer great
beachcombing with sun-bleached white sand,
perfect for secluded sunbathing and stunning
vistas. There are turquoise shallows enticing you
into the sea and fascinating snorkelling spots.
The chance to escape the stresses of modern life and find a perfect, sandy
beach all to oneself is why holidaymakers are drawn back time and again,
in an almost spiritual way. Whatever kind of beach you seek, you’re
sure to find it on Scilly.
WE’VE MADE A SHORTLIST OF SOME OF THE BEST SPOTS:
Pelistry (St. Mary’s): Ask anyone who lives on St. Mary’s why they
love Pelistry and the same reasons pop up. Pelistry Bay is almost always
deserted, the Eastern Isles gather in the distance, and sustenance is only a
five minute walk away. Lastly, if that wasn’t enough, Toll’s Island is perfect
to explore at low water (Please note that swimming is not safe when the
Bar is covered).
Bar Point (St. Mary’s): #FUXFFO.D'BSMBOET%PXOBOEUIF*OOJTJEHFO
Bronze Age Tombs you will find Bar Point, one of St. Mary’s most scenic
and sandy beaches. Jutting out into the sea, with spectacular views, the
underwater sand bar stretches from here to St. Martin’s and Tresco, and is
the location of a former, long-eroded, causeway between the Islands.
Town Beach (St. Mary’s): Within sight of the bustling St. Mary’s
Harbour, under the lifeboat slip in the far corner is an inviting secluded
spot where children can mess around in the shallows and enjoy watching
the hustle and bustle of boats in the harbour. This corner is quiet, safe,
inviting and close to shops and services.
Rushy Porth (Tresco): Rushy Porth is framed by the amazing 16th
century blockhouse and Lizard Point. The shoreline shelves into dunes
supporting tufty marram grass. Panoramic views take in St. Helens and Tean.
Appletree Bay (Tresco): Appletree Bay is one of the prettiest beaches
on Scilly. The sea sparkles like a blue mosaic across the Tresco flats
between Bryher and Samson; the sand is clean and sifts through your
fingers like sugar. The famous Abbey Garden is also close by, should
you fancy exploring inland. If it’s blowing a southerly, Appletree Bay is a
windsurfer’s paradise!
Pentle Bay (Tresco): Pentle Bay is a shell collector’s heaven. It is
a safe beach for swimming and the views are only interrupted by the
Eastern Isles. The beach is ¾ mile long, and shelves gently up into dunes
protecting the lush sub-tropical landscape and Tresco Great Pool.
12
S
FAVOURITE
Best Beach for
romantic walks:
Pentle Bay, Tresco
Best Beach for
rockpooling:
Porthloo, St. Mary’s
Best beach for
beachcombing:
Ginamoney Carn, St. Agnes
Best beach for swimming:
Great Bay, St. Martin’s
Best family beach:
Popplestone Beach, Bryher
Green Bay (Bryher): An idyllic spot, where you can launch a
kayak or rowing boat onto glassy waters, where there is rarely
a ripple in the ocean.
Rushy Bay (Bryher): Bryher is an island of contrasts - with the menace
of Hell Bay in the north and welcoming unfussy Rushy Bay in the south.
Rushy Bay isn’t just a lovely beach but is also the place for very low water
dinghy landings on Bryher. Well worth an afternoon.
Lawrence’s Bay (St. Martin’s): This beach is a family haven. There
are rock pools at low tide towards Old Quay, gently shelving sand that gives
way to tepid shallows over St. Martin’s Flats and soft dunes to protect that
all important picnic from any wind. The beach stretches from Lower Town
all the way to Higher Town. At low tide, imagine the old causeway that
used to link St. Mary’s and St. Martin’s in the Bronze Age.
Par Beach (St. Martin’s): This white sand crescent will instantly
impress, as it is the first beach you see when you land at Higher Town. A
great family beach with safe swimming, views, walks and long grasses to
hide out and have a picnic. This beach is so wonderful you will have to tear
yourself away to explore the Island’s other beaches.
Great Bay (St. Martin’s): There is a raw beauty and remoteness to this
gorgeous beach nestled on the north side of the Island. Great Bay is a vast
expanse of creamy sand and was recently voted Best Beach in the UK; not
to be missed!
The Bar (St. Agnes): Separates St. Agnes from the Island of Gugh. Both
sides are sheltered on The Cove and Porth Conger offers splendid clear
shallows, perfect for messing around in a dingy or watching the tripper
boats come in. If it’s been a hard day on the beach then head up the path
and within a couple of minutes there is either a café or a pub. (Please note
that swimming is not safe when the Bar is covered)
Covean (St. Agnes): Covean is a secret gem at the end of a tiny green
path. The tiny cove is perfect for snorkeling, as it is hemmed by rocky
outcrops teaming with marine life. For the more adventurous swimmer
you can also follow the coast around to The Bar (not for a drink!) where
Porth Conger and The Cove meet.
Periglis (St. Agnes): It’s hard to imagine that much has changed in
the last 100 years at Periglis. The fishermen still land their catch there,
the vista is broken by Annet, the Western rocks and the Bishop Rock
lighthouse stands proudly as the last beckon of the UK. Periglis is framed
by the old lifeboat slip (once the longest in the UK) and Ginamoney Carn
a shell collector’s paradise. There are rockpools, beach, shells, birds and
probably mermaids all waiting to be found!

Take me there
TRESCO
KEY FEATURE:
Tresco devotes itself wholly
to its visitors. The allure of the
Island is everywhere in the
variety of scenery, the rich
and diverse heritage, the range
of luxurious accommodation
and facilities. The jewel in the
Island’s crown is certainly the
world famous Tresco Abbey
Garden, a 17acre sub-tropical
horticultural home to 20,000
species of exotic plants.
14
Tresco is pint-sized, but perfectly formed, firing
the imagination of the explorer in all of us. To
the north, the scenery is wild, adorned with
wind-blasted heathland and ruined castles.
Cromwell’s Castle hugs the shoreline and
QFSDIFEPO$BTUMF%PXOJT,JOH$IBSMFT$BTUMF
built in the mid 16th century. Lose yourself
in the ruins of both castles and enjoy one of
the best views on Scilly over the kingdom of
Lyonnesse, down Tresco Channel and over
Samson with St. Agnes in the distance.
Head south through farmland, manicured
fields and tree-lined avenues past the freshwater
pools where birds flock. Look out for dunlins,
plovers, mallards and teal. Enter the famous
Garden which is home to species from over 80
countries from Brazil to Burma, 200 of which
are in flower even on New Year’s day. Muse over
a collection of nearly 60 relics including bronze
cannon, figureheads and nameplates salvaged
ffrom some off the
h countless
l local
l l wrecks
k in
i the
h
Valhalla Museum.
Beyond the Garden, along the southward
and eastern shoreline are some of the Island’s
most magnificent beaches. On Appletree Bay,
periwinkles and ginamoney shells nestle into
fine-sand beaches. Beaches here are made for
picnics, peaceful walks and bathing.

S
FAVOURITE
The Islands offer a diverse choice of outdoor leisure
pursuits and activities, for all ages and experience levels.
When you first arrive on the Isles of Scilly, you may not
realise just how much there is to do. Scratch the surface
and you will discover an individual get-away, with a
“what suits you” (not a one-size fits all) approach.
16
s The
h Isles of Scilly boast a marine environment
second to none. With wildlife ranging from
dolphins to basking sharks to seals, over 900
shipwrecks, and a myriad of coves and islets
to explore, it’s no surprise that water pursuits
are popular on Scilly.
s Don’t Miss: guided walks and boat trips, getting
you out and about and informed about the
best of Island life; learn a new skill, take a
course, find a new talent; each island has
its own unique character, no two are alike.
Explore one and you will crave a taste for
the others.
ACTIVITIES
With an amazing landscape and a beautiful coastline,
tailor-made for a variety of activities, it’s no wonder
that more and more visitors come to the Isles of Scilly
to indulge in a favourite pastime or special interest.
Some of the great reasons to come and explore the
Isles of Scilly include:
Golfing
On the UK’s most south-westerly golf course
Sailing and Boating

Windsurfing
Getting between the Islands has never been so much fun
Fishing
Anglers have never had it so good
Birdwatching and wildlife
Unique species and special migrants
Take a leisurely stroll… enjoy the space to be yourself, come and go as
you please, and do your own thing. Explore the nature trails, heathlands,
beautiful beaches, verdant pastures and craggy vantage points at your leisure,
along tranquil roads and gentle hills. Our coastline is a place of wild walks,
rugged cliffs, and rural backdrops. Narrow paths run the length, breadth, and
circumference of most Islands. Just around the corner you will find a view which
opens out to offer stunning vistas and clear views of the coastline as it folds in
and out on itself. It’s easy to see where local talent gains their inspiration! For a
place of such small dimensions, the walking country is staggeringly rich and
diverse, with over 60 miles of trails, paths, and walking routes, maintained for the
most part by the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust. Away from the coast, the varied
countryside suits cyclists and walkers, with space to lose yourself where you’ll
rarely see another person, even in the height of summer.
Walking
Enjoy our annual walking festival or roam alone at
your own pace
Cycling
From easy lanes to more testing trails
Horse-riding
Trek vivid purple heathlands or along a beach
Special Interest
Everything from line dancing to bowls
Have an adventure… discover the fascinating world beneath the sea; enjoy
a day of boating from island to island; dive the wrecks frozen in time; learn to
kayak or windsurf. If you are looking for an adrenaline kick, centres on three
Islands offer courses and lessons in windsurfing, sailing, diving and more, for
all ages and abilities. Launch a kayak or dinghy from the Islands’ beaches, or
hire windsurfing or sailing kit from one of the bases. Snorkelers and divers can
plunge into the aquamarine depths to explore forests of kelp, colourful sea life,
and a myriad of shipwrecks scattered across the ocean floor. You can snorkel
with seals and watch fish of all shapes and sizes dart through Scilly’s spectacular
underwater kingdom, or enjoy a trip on a rib around some of the outer isles, to see
the best of the marine life from on the water.

Take me there
ST MARTIN’S
KEY FEATURE:
St. Martin’s is a paradise island
of quartz sands surrounded by
translucent turquoise seas. There
are miles upon miles of deserted
white powder beaches, and in
the distance the Eastern Isles sit
like a shimmering necklace low
in the water. Behind sweeping
sands lie an array of eateries, a
range of galleries, a dive school,
a flower farm, a post office and
general store, plus a range of
accommodation.
18
St. Martin’s exudes a secluded tranquillity.
Viewed from any of the other Islands, you notice
first the glorious beaches. They seem endless.
They’re never crowded. They grow and grow as
the spring-tide ebbs, so that on a sunny day you
wade through palest glass-blue shallows over
parchment-coloured sand. Great Bay, Little Bay,
Bread and Cheese Cove or Lawrence’s Bay jostle
for the honour of best beach in the UK, but you
can make up your own mind.
If you can’t resist the invitation of
the water try learning to dive or snorkel
with a diving course based on St. Martin’s.
Take the opportunity to head around the
neighbouring Eastern Isles to snorkel with
seals. If all that activity leaves you hungry
for more active pursuits, you can also enjoy
the tennis facilities at Higher Town or take

Pelagic boat trips are excellent for bird watching,
shark tagging and cetacean watching. In the waters
around Scilly there are dolphins, basking sharks, and
porpoises and occasionally a larger whale or sea turtle
makes an appearance.

BRYHER
KEY FEATURE:
Bryher is the smallest of the
inhabited Islands, spectacularly
encapsulating untamed
beauty. An Island of contrasts,
Bryher features Atlantic rollers
thundering into Hell Bay on the
west coast and glassy waters
of the channel gently licking at
the white sand beaches of Green
Bay on the east coast. With a
population of around 80, Bryher
is low-key, and very welcoming.
22
On Bryher, roads are little more than tracks.
One takes you through ‘the town’ – of course
on a diminutive ‘Scilly’ scale this town is
actually a collection of fewer than 30
houses, including lovely self-catering and
B&B accommodation. There are miniature
fields containing geese, potatoes,
strawberries and of course scented narcissi.
On the coastal path, pause on the rocky
IFBUIMBOEPG4IJQNBO)FBE%PXOBOE
admire the statuesque granite mounds of
Scilly Rock and Castle Bryher. It’s hard to
imagine on a serene sunny day that these
perilous rocky jaws have claimed so many
ships. Further round you’ll find an artist’s
studio, Bronze Age graves on Samson Hill,
and Rushy Bay - perfect for bathing or just
relaxing in the maram grass.

adventure and excitement, or for peace and quiet.
The year starts with Walk Scilly (March/April). Walk Scilly is a seven day
walking festival, featuring a series of themed guided walks that take place

birds, bats and boats. May sees the Islands’ biggest annual event – the World Gig
Championships on the Bank Holiday weekend of May – a four day spectacular
that sees more than 100 gigs from all over the globe powering across the

Welcome to a different kind of Scilly, known only to a few.
At this time of year, the elements reassert themselves with awesome
majesty. Spray and spindrift fly high above the granite headlands driven
by gales, rare birds shelter among the hardy evergreen hedges, small flowers
and greenery burst through the sleeping soil.
However, there are still many days of cloudless skies and brilliant
sunshine to enjoy. With self-catering accommodation still available,
provisions easily sourced, and Mother Nature’s playground as your
entertainment, the Isles of Scillyy out of season are a truly

Take me there
ST. AGNES
KEY FEATURE:
St. Agnes is Britain’s most southwesterly community. A deep
channel separates it from St
Mary’s, the Scillonian III’s only
route in and out of the islands
at low tide. Maybe it’s this ‘moat’
effect that makes St. Agnes feel
such a world apart, with sandy
coves, rugged granite outcrops
and an elegant 17th century
lighthouse welcoming you and
dominating every vista.
26
While it’s difficult to resist the first watering
hole you find on St. Agnes, with one of the
finest settings of any licensed establishment in
England, there is so much more to discover off
the beaten track.
A winding coastal path leads over Britain’s
bumpiest cricket pitch, where legends tell of
shipwreck victims buried under the chamomile.
Head past the Victorian lifeboat station and the
exquisitely situated Island church and you’ll
come to the ice cream parlour and a tiny stone
labyrinth set in springy turf that overlooks the
wild Western Rocks. Beyond Troytown Maze the
path twists and turns below Coastguard Cottages
and past St. Warna’s wishing well. WeatherTDVMQUFESPDLTEPU8JOHMFUBOH%PXOBXBWFE
heath that drops steeply down to sandy Covean.
Inland on St Agnes lies a patchwork quilt
of bulb fields, rarely bigger than tennis courts,
many growing serried lines of scented narcissi
for the nation’s supermarkets. With a pub, fish
restaurant, two cafés, a campsite offering some
of the most heavenly sunsets in the world, a
well-stocked grocery store and post office, a little
bulb shop doubling as an Aladdin’s Cave of gifts:
St Agnes is a veritable treasure trove for those
who stay or just visit for the day.

Colourful
Culture
The Isles of Scilly have developed a character all of their
own, with distinctive history, heritage, and traditions…
scratch the surface and you will discover a proud heritage
and traditional culture.
The Isles of Scilly are a wonderful and uniquely beautiful holiday destination,
home and workplace to some 2,000 people. Scilly has bred vigorous, successful
people throughout history from sea-going pilots to master mariners, flower growers
to shipbuilders. Islanders are by definition resourceful and independent-minded
people and Scillonians are no exception. It will come as no surprise to find that
over a third of the working population on Scilly is self-employed. Many work in the
traditional industries of fishing and farming, growing the lovely scented narcissi.

Fisherman catch a range of gastronomic delights, from lobster and crab to turbot
and mackerel; some is served locally but much is exported to the UK and Europe.
Tourism also now supports many local business people, with enterprises ranging
from craft workshops to inter-island boating to eateries featuring local produce
and traditional family recipes.

Heritage The Museum boasts a treasure-trove of Bronze-Age finds, ship-wreck
artefacts and island heritage, including a fully-rigged gig in the centre. The Heritage
Centre contains a heritage exhibition and documents how life on the Islands used
to be. Another fascinating source of information, and old Scillonian stories, may be
your accommodation proprietor with a wealth of knowledge and family history.
Pilot Gigs The first Pilot Gig Boats were built in the 17th century with the
purpose of taking a pilot out to a sailing ship and putting him aboard to navigate
the ship into safe waters. Pilotage in Scilly was for many years a primary source
of income as the first man aboard got the job and of course the rewards that came
with it, and thus gig racing began. Today, gig racing has grown to be such a popular
pastime that women race on Wednesday evenings and men on Fridays throughout
the summer months. Local competition is fierce!
Farming Flower farming continues to prosper across the Islands (albeit in
smaller numbers than in the past) and our fields boast the earliest blooming white
and golden narcissi in the UK. Farmers also play a key role in maintaining the
landscape and many have shops or honesty boxes so you can take home your
own horticultural piece of Scilly. Many local farmers are also turning their hand to
alternative crops and produce, such as harvesting herbs to turn into essential oils,
free range chicken farming, and dairy farming for the creation of dairy products
such as mouth-watering ice cream.
Gardens To many, the Isles of Scilly are one big garden, but the temperate
climate has produced two outstanding examples – the world famous Tresco Abbey
(BSEFOBOEUIFDPNNVOJUZHBSEFO$BSSFH%IVPO4U.BSZT4VCUSPQJDBMQMBOUT
however, may be seen all over the Islands in hedgerows, in sheltered areas on the
downs or in many household gardens.
History & Archaeology There is an abundance of archaeological sites
in Scilly from the Neolithic through to the Second World War including Bronze
Age burial sites, an Iron Age village and Civil War defences, all adding to the rich
tapestry of Scilly’s heritage. Some of the best ways to explore these are via a guided
walk, an evening slide show, or by using guide books and other literature.
Creative Pursuits In this unique maritime setting, which provides stunning
themes for photographers, painters, and craftsmen, it comes as no surprise that
many locals make a living from the creative industries. Artists paint in beach
studios, landscape photographers capture the changing moods, beachcombers
make jewellery from their finds, potters create distinctive mementoes to take home.
If you have a creative flair yourself, why not try painting or sketching some of the
most memorable views in the world, enroll in a winter bakery course, or engage in
a felt or stained glass making workshop?
DON’T MISS...
There is a lively, Island-wide music scene, with a
variety of bands playing anything from jazz and folk,
to rhythm and blues and rock. Concerts and shows
provide a real showcase for the talented acts. Openair operatic and theatrical events, musicals, plays,
choral concerts and comedies, all play a big part on
Scilly, with both local and touring companies staging
productions throughout the season.

Staying
on Scilly
The perfect holiday starts with the perfect place. Wake up on Scilly –
when you look out onto the sea for the first time that day, your horizons
broaden, vistas open up, and the sky is huge. The Isles of Scilly are an Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a community which highly values
its heritage and history. You will find that the range of accommodation
offerings make the most of the architectural heritage. From converted
barns to castles, from 4-star hotels to 2-star self catering, there is a range
of options to suit everyone.
Enjoy England’s classifications are used throughout
the Islands. All the national assessing bodies (VisitBritain,
VisitScotland, VisitWales and the AA) now assess hotels and guest
accommodation (including B&Bs) to the same criteria and award
one to five stars. The star ratings reflect the overall quality of the experience.
When choosing your accommodation look for the Quality Rose, the official
marque of the Enjoy England national tourist board rating scheme.
Enjoy England’s ratings made easy
´ Simple, practical, no frills.
´´ Well presented and well run.
´´´ Good level of quality and comfort.
´´´´ Excellent standard throughout.
´´´´´ Exceptional with a degree of luxury.
If you choose to stay in any of Enjoy England’s quality-assessed
accommodation, you can be confident that it has been checked out before
you check in. For more information on the Enjoy England Quality Rose
assessment schemes and the star ratings, go to: www.enjoyEngland.com
AA ratings In addition to the Enjoy England ratings there is
also accommodation that has been inspected by the AA. They
also use the new star ratings and the standards are in line with
Enjoy England. See www.theaa.com
The Green Tourism Business Scheme Accommodation

wide and varied range of issues that directly or indirectly affect
tourism. Denotes membership.

Some useful information...
Finding the information you need You can
find a wealth of information about the Isles of
Scilly, accommodation, activities and attractions,
and lots more at www.simplyscilly.co.uk, the official
Tourist Board website. Staff members at the Tourist
Information Centre (TIC) in Hugh Street on St Mary’s
are happy to help with all kinds of enquiries.
Tresco Estate requires that visiting dogs remain
on a lead.
Isles of Scilly Tourist Information Service
01720 42 40 31
tic@scilly.gov.uk
Health There is a fully-equipped cottage hospital
and dental surgery on St Mary’s and a nearby
Health Centre with a surgery and a dispensary.
A medical launch links the Islands and there is
a water ambulance, the Star of Life.
Power Utilities The electricity supply at 240
Volts is exactly the same as on the mainland.
So too are tariffs. Bottled gas is obtainable.
Telecoms BT provides the standard landline
connection. Most mobile phone networks can
be picked up across the Islands.
Dogs Dogs and responsible owners are welcomed
in Scilly. During the summer months several
beaches on St Mary’s have restrictions. Dogs are
happily accepted on the inter-island launches but
Accessibility Disability Cornwall has provided
a Sand Chair to enable people to access some of
the beaches on St Mary’s. Details of hire may be
obtained from the TIC on St Mary’s.
Money There are two banks on St Mary’s –
Barclays and Lloyds TSB – but none on the
Off-Islands. There is a cash machine outside Lloyds
TSB which takes cards. Several shops offer cashback
facilities with Switch and Delta cards. There are
sub-post offices on each of the off Islands that offer
National Girobank and National Savings facilities.
Please note, however, that many businesses still
operate largely on a cash basis and may not accept
debit or credit cards. It is always best to ring ahead
to confirm.
Police Scilly is one of the safest communities
anywhere in Britain. Local magistrates meet once
every three months, but only if required. The sole
police station is on St Mary’s which has a Sergeant,
two PCs and a Community Support Officer. The
Islands’ crime rate is almost non-existent.
Insurance Scilly is part of the United Kingdom,
but as the Islands are an off-shore destination,
it is prudent to take out holiday insurance to
guard against delays due to weather or other
eventualities.
Whilst every effort has been taken to ensure the
accuracy of information in this guide, the Isles of
Scilly Tourist Board accepts no liability for errors,
omissions or any inconvenience arising thereof.
Furthermore, in respect of advertisements, neither
the Board nor its staff can be held responsible for
statements contained therein, or for any matter
arising thereof.

Camping on Scilly
One of the best ways to get up close to the Islands’
most sumptuous scenery is by camping.
The four campsites (one on each island, except Tresco) boast a range of amenities
as standard. You will find the following across all the sites: showers, toilets,
wash-handbasins, hot & cold water, washing up facilities, freezer packs, washing
machines, tumble dryers, hair dryers, transport of equipment, gas exchange. As
regards food, all our campsites either have a food shop or are within a reasonable
distance of one. They are also very close to warm and inviting pubs and eateries.
