St Agnes Isles of Scilly
St. Agnes - Explore the edge of the Atlantic
St. Agnes is the very tip of the British Isles. To the south west, there’s nothing but Bishop Rock Lighthouse, three thousand miles of ocean and, beyond that, North America. As you’d expect, it’s unspoiled, and a little untamed - with mysterious, Bronze Age archaeology, and rare bird species brought in on the Atlantic currents. It’s also home to a community of 72 people, the famous Turk’s Head pub, and creamy Troytown Farm ice cream- made by just nine cows. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. At low tide, you can walk across the sandbar to the mysterious, neighbouring island of Gugh. It’s only half mile long - and home to just three hardy locals - but people have lived here for thousands of years.
