The Isles of Scilly are a small archipelago of about 150 islands located 28 miles S.S.W. of lands end. Of the 150 or so islands only 5 are inhabited, these are St. Marys, Tresco, St. Martins, Bryher and St. Agnes. The capital Hugh town is located on the main island of St.Marys and it is here that most visitors to Scilly first arrive. There are 3 ways in which to travel to Scilly from the mainland - by plane, helicopter or on the ferry the Scillonian III - for more details on how to get there go to the Links Page
From St. Marys many visitors choose to explore the other Islands, this is easily done by catching one of the many tripper boats that run regularly between the islands - the times for these boats are shown on notice boards on the quay and at various places throughout the island

For the visitor to St. Martins there is much to see and do, wether you are here for several weeks or just a day you will never be short of activities. There are faboulous deserted white sand beaches to enjoy, breathtaking scenery and quiet coastal walks. If you are the more adventurous type then you may like to try your hand at Windsurfing, Fishing, Diving or Sailing all of which are offered on the island. After a long summers day there is no better place to unwind than sat in the garden of the pub with a cool drink in hand watching the sun set over the hills of Samson and Tresco.
