The Isles of Scilly lie just off the coast of Cornwall but are a world apart in every way.
Find out how to island hop between St Mary's and Tresco, swim with seals off St Martins, boat off Bryher and stash local gin from St Agnes
If hell is other people, heaven is the Isles of Scilly.
Here, 28 miles to the west of Cornwall’s Land’s End, is an archipelago that will make your heart leap.
It’s like Cornwall before the boom in second-home owners, where islanders welcome you like long-lost friends, where the ice-cream-white beaches are deserted and the air smells like sun-drenched salt and sweet narcissi.
For every dazzling wild marigold, there’s an honesty box, teeming with home-grown vegetables, just-laid eggs and crumbly fudge, spread out like a village fete’s prize-winning produce.
It is on these islands that the mundane tortures of everyday life are quickly erased, because here the pace is slower and the people are friendlier. Days are often miraculously filled with unbroken sunshine and the night skies, free from the city-light pollution, are inky and glowing. For anyone who visits, it’s a revelation. Like the gentle ebb and flood of the tide, you can’t help but vow to return.
