The Isles of Scilly comprise some 55 islands and over 90 rocks lying in the Atlantic Ocean some 28 miles south-west from Land's End on the Cornish mainland. The name 'Scilly' comes from SULLY meaning the Sun Isles which describe its climate with an excellent sunshine record. The temperature is remarkably constant throughout the year with only a 9° variation between the average of the hottest and coldest months.

There are five inhabited islands: St Mary's, St Martin's, St Agnes', Tresco, and Bryher, and about 50 others which would be classed as islands as well as hundreds of rocks.

The Isles of Scilly are perfect for walking & beach holidays, or just relaxing and getting away from it all. With numerous pubs, restaurants, cafes and small shops you find the Islands have a little bit of everything for everyone.
