Map of the uninhabited islands

The Isles of Scilly is the UK’s largest archipelago, it has around 140 uninhabited islands. Traces of past small communities can still be seen on some of these isles. Folklore suggests they were once all joined together to form the lost mythical Arthurian land of Lyonesse. Today, these islands provide havens for wildlife, especially seabirds.

Uninhabited wonders

There’s something truly unmatched about stepping onto a deserted island, making it a highlight of any boat trip. The stillness surrounds you, a serene hush that feels almost magical. Climb hills for sweeping panoramic views, unwind on pristine beaches, and wander amongst old ruins – these islands offer a rare glimpse of nature in its purest, untouched form.
