Isles of Scilly

White sand and turquoise water off Cornwall, subtropical gardens and boats between the islands.

Forty kilometres off Land’s End, the Isles of Scilly have beaches that look Caribbean on a sunny day. Five islands are inhabited; boats leave Hugh Town on St Mary’s every morning for the others, among them Tresco with its subtropical Abbey Garden. There are seals and puffins, almost no cars and a pace that suits walking, paddling and very little else.
