Information
Inhabited since the Stone Age, the Isles of Scilly are steeped in history and adventure. A combination of Atlantic extremes and sub tropical havens the archipelago offers a surprisingly diverse choice for discerning travellers. It is also a magnet for sailing enthusiasts, with an incredible variety of conditions, from the challenge of the Atlantic to the tranquillity of the Channel.
The largest island, ST. MARY’S may well be only two and a half miles by one and three quarter miles but it is also home to around seventy five percent of the population. Hugh Town, the ‘capitol of the Isles of Scilly’, stands on a sandbar with a bustling centre, historic port (with it’s famous shipping route to Penzance), fine restaurants, hotels and pubs. In total contrast the rest of St. Mary’s is a virtual tapestry of woodlands, heaths, marshland and dune covered beaches.
There is plenty to tempt sporting enthusiasts too - golf, cycling, horse riding, world-class water sport and sailing facilities including fishing, windsurfing and scuba diving. For the cultured visitor the island offers a rich heritage of architecture, art and crafts. St.Mary’s is also the perfect base from which to explore the rest of the islands.
The island of TRESCO was bought by, wealthy merchant banker, Augustus Smith from the Duchy of Cornwall in the mid 1830s and has remained in ownership of the family ever since. Augustus was an avid plant collector and established the world famous Tresco Abbey Garden, home to countless sub tropical and temperate plant-life from around the world. The small population virtually all work within the holiday industry that has thrived through the development of the gardens offering the chance for visitors to embrace the idyllic coastal and rural areas of Tresco whilst enjoying the very best hospitality available.
BRYHER may be the smallest community of the Isles of Scilly but is arguably the most colourful, the splendour of wildflowers during spring is the stuff of legends. The island is also a resting place for countless migratory birds in autumn and home to the awe-inspiring Atlantic ravaged Hell Bay.
The untouched beauty of ST.AGNES is breathtaking. With its tiny flower farming community the island has managed to maintain an air of tranquillity. Surrounded by stunning hidden coves, white sandy beaches and rock pools leading to crystal clear waters, St. Agnes is a truly magical place.
For those looking for a peaceful holiday ST.MARTINS, the third largest of the Isles of Scilly is ideal. The white sands and clear waters of the coastline are but the icing on the cake for an area of virtually unspoilt beauty. Whatever the time of year St. Martins offers the very best of nature’s wonders. From fishing and snorkelling to coastal walks and stunning views the island is never anything less that remarkable.

Visitor Attractions
Following the severe gales in the winter of 1962, Nornour (Eastern Isles) yielded up some remarkable Romano-British finds, causing some St Mary's residents to establish a local museum. Initially the only viable option was a temporary display in the Wesleyan Chapel during the summer months. After much fundraising and thanks to huge volunteer enthusiasm, the present Museum was built. It opened to the public on July 15th 1967 and received a visit from H.M. Queen Elizabeth II on August 8th 1967.
Our collections are extremely diverse, including material from many wrecks; a wild flower display (during the summer months); Romano-British artefacts; stuffed birds; local art and much more. Thanks to the generosity of local and mainland benefactors, we have received many varied accessions for research and display purposes. We welcome any items of Scillonian provenance or directly relating to the islands.

In July 1986, the Isles of Scilly Environmental Trust was formed as a registered charity. On July 1 2001, the Trust became officially affiliated to the national organization of Wildlife Trusts and has thus become the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust - the 47th in the UK.
The Trust is responsible for the management of all the land that is leased to it by the Duchy of Cornwall on the inhabited islands, in addition to all the uninhabited islands, islets and rocks.

Having spent 16 years brewing, last year Mark decided that it was time to hand over the pumps to someone who could take Ales of Scilly to the next generation of ale fans and after a bit of a search found an enthusiastic Jen Trevithick from Cornwall who took on the business in 2017. Mark continues to assist with brewing when needed and is looking forward to watching it grow. Jen has lots of plans for the brewery and is looking at expanding the range in the near future so watch this space!

Part of the Duchy of Cornwall since 1337, the Isles of Scilly have been home to man since the Neolithic times. These days only five of the 200 islands and rocky outcrops of the archipelago are inhabited - the remainder providing sanctuary for many rare and interesting birds.
St. Mary's is the perfect holiday centre for all, offering a wide variety of attractions as well as providing an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding islands using the daily launch service.
With its pubs, restaurants and shops, St. Mary's itself has plenty of interest for everyone, while those with a feeling for the past will find much to occupy their thoughts. A walk around the island will highlight the drama of the Scillonian scenery while on the quieter side a visit to the bulb fields is always worth while. Children especially will enjoy the safe bathing and fine sandy beaches. For the more active, there is sailing, fishing, windsurfing, golf, tennis, squash, diving and snorkelling.

During the summer season, Little Arthur Farm opens its cafe and bistro, cooking and serving food produced on the farm. We believe in guaranteeing the provenance of our food by growing it ourselves, be it salad leaves, fresh tomatoes, beef from animals grazed on our own pastures, milk from our Guernsey cows and goats or eggs from our Rhode Island hens. We believe in picking our tomatoes when they have been allowed to ripen naturally to develop their true flavour, not picked green and then ripened with gases and hormones. We believe in cows that have grazed their own grass, not stall-fed milk machines gorging on omnivorous diets and chemicals. We believe in fish that has been sustainably fished in the clear waters around Scilly, not in factory ship produce that has been flown in from the other side of the world.

Little Arthur Farm is a family run holding. We moved here from the mainland 40 years ago, committed to the idea of living off the land, growing our own food, keeping a cow, spinning the wool from the sheep and being as self suficient in all aspects of living as possible. From that time the business has kept on growing. All our 7 children were home educated but still followed a school curriculum, ie. they all took GCSEs. From that the Correspondence courses grew and now hundreds of students worldwide follow the courses. We soon realised the farm and garden had the potential to feed more than just the family, and as always, generating an income from a smallholding was an issue, so we started the Wholefood Cafe which has now been running succesfully for over 33 years. Out of our desire to make our own hauling seaweed from the beachfootwear from natural materials the idea of offering a made-to-measure footwear service was born.

The award winning Juliet’s Garden has come a long way over the last 35 years. Starting as a small tea garden in an idyllic spot, Juliet’s has grown and firmly established itself as a popular and highly attractive restaurant, still boasting breathtaking views across the harbour, and indeed, most of the other islands.
Situated just above Porthloo Beach, 15 minutes from Hugh Town, (just below St. Mary’s Golf Course), one of the islands’ most loved establishments is enjoyed by day visitors, holiday makers and locals alike, many of whom come back time and time again.
Address: Juliet's Garden Restaurant, Seaways Flower Farm, Isles of Scilly, TR21 0NF

Fay lives on the island of St Martin's, Isles of Scilly. Much of Fay's work focuses on her surroundings with shells and pebbles from local beaches being cast to produce charms or clusters to sit alongside handmade neck chains and charm bracelets.
Fay also makes chains which are inspired by fabric textures such as linen and lace and has recently developed this textile theme by introducing solid silver buttons to her collections.

The distress signal was received by the Falmouth Coastguard in the early hours of the morning.
Coastguard Ian Guy said"The yachtsman described being hit by a large freak wave which capsized, rolled and disabled the vessel and with a such a severe gale forecast for the area this morning, it was important to get assistance out to this small sailing vessel quickly."
The lone yachtsman is reported as being an experienced sailor handled the situation well.
Another reason why the RNLI is so important to us mariners and deserve any support you can give.
Well done lads and lasses

Ahora hemos regresado de nuestras vacaciones de navegación y ahora estamos recordando nuestras experiencias. Uno que es muy importante para nosotros es nuestra visita a las islas de Scilly. Nos encantó la isla y especialmente el Schooner Hotel y su maravilloso restaurante. Muy amigable con los yates y el propietario tiene un hermoso yate como se mencionó en un comentario anterior. Esperamos visitar aquí nuevamente en algún momento en el futuro. recuerdos fantasticos
When visiting these incredible islands don't just stick to St Mary's. As beautiful as it is, these islands need exploring and one of the easiest and interesting of the group is St Martins. And when there The Little Arthur Cafe is a great place to hang out. we just loved it here and its a place you can unwind. Most of us come to these islands to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of working life or stresses of family life. Well here is a place that you can forget about all that, but its important that we visit these places on our visits as they rely on us for their income and if we don't, then they simply wont exist. This just doesn't just go out to te Little Arthur Cafe, but all the other small family run businesses on this beautiful group of islands.
If you are reading this and have never visited the Isles of Scilly, please put it on your to do list and experience something special before its to late.
Thanks S & B
Thank you in anticipation.

Best places? There are too many to mention them all, but we did love the vinyard, and the location of Schooners, oh and Juliets Garden, etc etc. as I said too many to mention.
Look forward to returning.
Great experience.
We were not aware that the yacht they have is also available for charter though. Hopefully we will take advantage of this next time we visit.
We are planning our next trip here soon and hope to be able to get a reservation there.
If you have never been to these islands before I would strongly recommend this hotel.
They also have a large yacht, that you can go out on. The gentleman we met was called Keith, and he was extremely helpful and courteous.
A big thank you from the three of us.
ps having seen your guide to Gibraltar we are planning a trip there in October, will let you know what we think.
Thanks, the Johnsons.
The Crew will be there within the next few months to update the guide.Thanks for your comments.
Thanks Mat
