Isles of Scilly Attractions

 
The Isles of Scilly (pronounced "silly") lie 25mi/45km southwest of Land's End, the farthest tip of Cornwall. As well as five inhabited islands, this archipelago in the Atlantic encompasses 40 further islands and 150 rock formations with fine-sounding names which offer in part some magnificently beautiful scenery and undisturbed nature. Once a source of terror for seamen, as so many ships were wrecked against the rocky reefs here, the islands are now a holiday paradise boasting a mild climate (the result of their proximity to the Gulf Stream), marvelous sandy beaches, enormous granite formations, charming deciduous forests and moorland.
