The Isles of Scilly: A Tranquil British Paradise

The Isles of Scilly offer a unique escape just off the Cornish coast of England. This archipelago of about 140 islands, with only five inhabited, provides a peaceful retreat with a mild climate, stunning landscapes and crystal-clear waters that feel more Mediterranean than British. Visitors can explore Tresco Abbey Garden, home to over 20,000 exotic plants that thrive in the islands' microclimate, or discover ancient archaeological sites dating back to the Bronze Age. Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy spotting seals, puffins and rare birds. The islands host the World Pilot Gig Championships each spring, drawing teams from around the world to compete in traditional wooden boat races. In autumn, the islands celebrate their local produce with the Taste of Scilly Food Festival. Regular ferry services connect the Isles of Scilly to Penzance on mainland Cornwall, making it easy to combine a visit with a broader exploration of southwest England.
