where we are

The Isles of Scilly are an archipelago of five inhabited islands and hundreds of rocky outcrops. Scattered 28 miles off Land’s End in clear Atlantic waters, views and colours change with every corner turned. It’s easy to explore the islands by ferry, kayak, bike or foot – the largest island is only 10 miles around the coast path.

Scilly is a wild & natural environment, with a vast array of unspoilt pathways, headlands & beaches to discover and wild swimming spots to try out. You might find a rugged and windswept place that takes your breath away, or the deepest bluest sky, sparkling silver seas and soft, warm sand beneath your feet.

Travel to Scilly by boat or by plane, with Isles of Scilly Travel.
