Product Description

This is a detailed guide to walking throughout the islands. It is a new edition of the original and most comprehensive guide to this beautiful and unspoilt area. It details of boat trips between the islands, and other useful information for exploration on foot. Basking in sunshine, rising green and pleasant from the blue Atlantic Ocean, fringed by rugged cliffs and sandy beaches, the Isles of Scilly are a joy to explore. The Isles form the smallest of Britain's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and their historic shores have been designated as Heritage Coast. The surrounding sea is protected as a marine park. Archaeological remains abound, not only on the islands, but submerged beneath the sea. While the walks in this guidebook could be completed in as little as a week, a fortnight would allow a much more leisurely appreciation of the islands, and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
