The Isles of Scilly, 28 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean off Land’s End in Cornwall. Small, low lying, isolated. Bathed in warm sunshine and calm clear waters yet battered by storms and raging seas; haunted by coastal mist and shipwrecking sea ledges, yet immersed in heavenly hues and the darkest of night skies. Steeped in maritime history and with a rich cultural lilt inspired by its wondrous, outstanding, natural beauty. This is England’s great archipelago.
For 2,200 residents, Scilly is a year-round destination – each season punctuated by familiar sights and experiences. From tiny fields full of flowers and lashing Atlantic storms in winter through to the arrival of puffins, Walk Scilly and the Gig Championships in spring; from exceptional island hopping, dazzling beaches and coastal adventures throughout summer to migrating birds, seal pups and foraging feasts in autumn, this pocket-size archipelago is a place to be enjoyed across all four seasons.
