Description
The Isles of Scilly is a small archipelago of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cornwall at the south-west tip of the United Kingdom. The main island, and obvious base for visitors, is St Mary's.
Four of the other islands (known as "Off Islands") are inhabited: best known is Tresco for its Abbey Gardens. All the islands are scenic, and collectively they've been designated an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty".
The islands bask in the Gulf Stream and are very mild and sunny. They're cooler than mainland England at the height of summer, but considerably warmer in winter, and frost is rare. This balmy climate fosters sub-tropical flora and a flower industry, plus tourism.
