I love it there. Hopping on and off the little ferry boats adds to the sense of feeling that you could be much further away from home than you really are.
It’s a stunningly beautiful place. Hope you have a great time. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Another one of those places that's almost on my doorstep but never got there. Stood in the booking office for the helicopter when it was at Longrock with a plan to go on a daytrip, but i parked the idea once i found out the cost!
Looking forward to pictures & the review!
Eden project is another on my list & still not been there yet.

Go to Tresco and visit the garden and shipwreck museum inside it. Good pub there too!
St Martins also very nice - used to scuba dive for 2 weeks every summer there.

Just a couple of pics as Internet is not great here
All I can say is WOW and I can understand why people say it’s got some of the best beaches in the world
Will try load more pics later -------------------------------------------------

Not surprised about the Internet- it was only recently that the local news was reporting on the limited potable water supplies there.Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

Well my verdict of the Isles of Scilly
I can honestly say it’s one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been
Hugh town has some great places to visit and a lot more going on being the main island,amazing beaches
Restaurants cafes and pubs , not many shops so that’s good , only 1 small coop for you food but I didn’t think prices were over the top , pub prices for food about the same as here and a pint of cider and a wine was £9 so again around the same as north cornwall
St Martyn’s,
Again amazing , fantastic walks with beautiful scenery,
Tresco,
Just stunning ,
Bryher, again amazing with fantastic walks
Took loads of pics but not loading so well today
St Agnes , wow
All I can say is if you like the sea , and walking it’s one of the nicest places to go
Apologies if I’ve got the wrong island name for the pics but all from last weeks holiday -------------------------------------------------
