Synopsis
Lying 28 miles southwest of the Cornish coast, the Isles of Scilly are a potent mixture of ancient history and piercingly beautiful beaches and seascapes. Fields of subtropical flowers shelter in the lee of wave washed headlands. Bronze Age burial tombs mark a culture now lost beneath the Atlantic - the inspiration for the legend of the lost land of Lyonnesse. This Friendly Guide aims to help you enjoy exploring the islands by combining articles on subjects such as the landscape, ancient history and wildlife with practical local advice on getting around and choosing the best beaches and places to visit. There are detailed maps and island by island commentaries.
