Your Guide to Autumn

Autumn On Scilly

The islands' colours soften, blending into hues that inspire artists of all kinds. Set up your easel or take a stroll to explore their beauty. Along the way, listen for migrating birds on their annual journey and watch for fluffy seal pups dotting the rocky shores. This is a season when the islands come alive with wildlife.

A paradise for foragers and food lovers: hedgerows brimming with berries, shorelines teeming with edible seaweeds, and other coastal treasures. The islands are bursting with local produce – the ideal season to savour a 'Taste of Scilly.

And then, a sense of tranquillity returns. Late October offers a balance of lingering sunshine and dramatic storms. It’s a time for reflection, as the ebb and flow of the tides and the shifting weather shape the rhythm of the seasons on Scilly.
