Looking for an easy coastal escape? Dreaming of setting foot on the Isles of Scilly?
Just 28 miles off the Cornish coast lies a group of sand-fringed islands like nowhere else in the UK. Basking in a warmer climate, these wonderfully unspoilt islands have a natural wildness that is completely relaxing.
The Isles of Scilly share a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, but each island is unique with its own personality and special charm.
With Skybus flights, getting to these islands can be seamlessly straightforward.
