Isles of Scilly

Outstandingly beautiful, uncrowded and unspoilt...

The Isles of Scilly lie just off the coast of Cornwall but seem like a world apart. Every inch of these 200 low lying isles form an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and everyone who visits here falls in love with the laid back lifestyle. We’ll be based on St Mary’s, the biggest and most populated island and the hub of Scillonian life. Outside the hustle and bustle of Hugh Town, St Mary’s still has more than its fair share of dreamy beaches, complete with white sand, tranquil waters and stunning seascapes. We will also visit the island of Tresco and the world famous Abbey Gardens with their extraordinary collections laid in zones such as "Higher and Lower Australia", "Mexico" and "South Africa Cliff". There are over 4,000 different specimens that enjoy the Scillies exceptional hours of sunshine and the warmth of the Gulf Stream.
