This guidebook to walking on the Scilly Isles includes 11 day walks
and 4 boat trips. The walks are between 1.5 and 10 miles long (2.5km
and 16km), and explore the larger islands such as Tresco, St Martin's,
St Mary's, St Agnes and Bryher as well as smaller islands in the
archipelago. Alongside the walks, which are suitable for walkers of
all abilities, are 4 boat trips which explore Annet and the Western
Rocks, the Norrard Rocks, St Helens and Tean as well as the Eastern
Isles. All routes are illustrated with OS mapping and contain lots of
background information on the history, geology and ecology of the
islands. There is also practical information on public transport
services and accommodation. With their mild climate and relaxing
atmosphere, the Isles make an ideal holiday destination, with stunning
scenery, rich bird life and myriad wildflowers. Basking in sunshine,
rising green and pleasant from the blue Atlantic Ocean, fringed by
rugged cliffs and sandy beaches, they reveal their charms to those who
walk the headlands, sail from island to island and take time to
observe the sights, sounds and scents of the landscape.
