It must be said from the outset that the Isles of Scilly does not have “formal” tourist attractions. There are no theme parks or on-tap entertainment – and that’s the charm of these peaceful islands. However, we do offer a wealth of remarkable natural attractions.

The islands blend heritage, maritime history, and vibrant culture, with stunning landscapes and a deep connection to the sea.
