Tresco Island

Tresco is the second largest of the Scilly Isles. Tresco Abbey is famous for its subtropical park, laid out in terraces, from which fine views can be enjoyed. Apart from the ruins of the abbey, a collection of figureheads from ships wrecked off the Isles of Scilly can be seen. King Charles' Fort and Cromwell's Castle, both with fortified towers, date from the mid-17th and mid-18th centuries.
The garden is unique in the British Isles for its rare collection of subtropical plants from South Africa, Mexico and Madeira.
