| | | The Scilly Isles are a collection of five main islands just 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall. |
| As well as St. Mary's, Tresco, St. Martin's, Bryher and St. Agnes there's numerous inlets and uninhabited places. |
| Population wise there's more birds than people (just 2,000) and an almost tropical climate, ranging from sunshine to severe gales. |
| The islands have been inhabited since the Stone Age and islanders relied heavily on the sea to make a living. |
| But these days most of the boats inthe harbours are filled with pleasure boats rather than working ones. |
| The most populated of the five islands is St. Mary's but all of them offer peaceful havens for sailing, fishing, sunbathing and outdoor activities. |
