During the summer months, the West Country is teeming with tourists flocking to our area's stunning coastline. However, some destinations offer visitors more than others, and that's definitely the case with the Scilly Isles.
The archipelago is adorned with beautiful beaches, captivating wildlife, and fascinating historic buildings. The isles are home to around 2,153 people who reside on five inhabited islands: St Mary's, Tresco, St Martin's, Bryher, and St Agnes, with clusters of other uninhabited rocks scattered around these population centers.
The beautiful Isles of Scilly - which has been dubbed the mini-Maldives - can be reached by taking a train from Temple Meads to Exeter and then a short flight from the city. Described as outstandingly beautiful, uncrowded, and unspoiled by the official Isles of Scilly tourism website, the area truly lives up to its reputation.
