60 miles of serene, tree-lined canals mirroring countless gabled 17th and 18th century townhouses, and spanned by 1,000 bridges. A showcase of superb art galleries and museums. Above all, it’s a vibrant city with seemingly inexhaustible energy by day and night, fuelled by over 1,500 bars and cafes!

Located just 28 miles off the shores of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly may be close to the mainland, but they feel a million miles away thanks to their gorgeous beaches, lush nature reserves and stunning surf.

St. Mary’s, Scilly’s main and largest island, is smothered with treasures that await your discovery, including ancient monuments, the Carreg Dhu Community Garden, a small museum in Hugh Town and an interesting heritage centre in the middle of the island. There are also multiple opportunities to walk along miles of scenic beaches or nature trails.

It’s a place of great historic charm, notably around the Vieux Basin, where lofty slate-and-timber fronted houses overlook the colourful yacht and fishing harbour, and sloping cobbled streets recall 16th century Honfleur. Not to be missed are the 15th century wooden church and the Impressionist paintings of the Museé Eugene Boudin.
