Warmed by the Gulf Stream, buffeted by the Atlantic, relying on sea and air links with the mainland, the unique Isles of Scilly are a world apart. Populated by a friendly community of just over 2000 islanders, sub-tropical Scilly has a tranquility and a quality of life long lost to less isolated places. Exotic plants and wild flowers, ancient cairns and crumbling castles, sparkling white sands by an azure sea - all just 28 miles from Land's End in the South-west corner of the UK.

Under an hour from Penzance (helicopter, skybus or SS Scillonian III), less if you are in a hurry! or half an hour from Newquay airport (skybus):
