​About The Isles of Scilly

Picture
The Isles of Scilly are a group of islands situated 28 miles South West of Land's End in Cornwall. There are 5 inhabited islands: St. Mary's, Tresco, Bryher, St. Martins and St. Agnes. Warmed by the gulf stream and populated by a friendly community of just over 2000 islanders, sub-tropical Scilly has a tranquillity and a quality of life long lost to less isolated places.

The Isles of Scilly is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), recognising the exceptional landscape we have on Scilly as that of distinctive character and natural beauty and is precious enough to be protected and enhanced in the national interest for nature, people, business and culture. We want to ensure that the Championships do not have a negative impact on the islands. To help to achieve that, we have created a Sustainability Strategy, which you can read in full here.

For more information on the islands and up-to date accommodation lists see the tourist information website here
