Outstandingly beautiful, uncrowded and unspoilt – The Isles of Scilly lie just 28 miles off the rugged coast of Cornwall but are a world apart in every way. This compact cluster of precious ocean jewels is like nowhere else in England. Everything looks and feels quite different on Scilly – simpler, kinder, more innocent. Life moves at an easier pace – a visit to England’s enchanting archipelago guarantees a magical, unforgettable experience. Stay for 4 nights at the welcoming Bell Rock Hotel on St Mary’s with an included visit to the world-famous Abbey Gardens on Tresco. Overnight stays in Penzance out and back
NB a good level of fitness is required for this holiday and guests with mobility difficulties may be limited in their enjoyment. All sea journeys are subject to prevailing weather and the itinerary may have to be adapted accordingly
