It’s the Isles of Scilly where you’ll find plenty of fresh air to blow those cobwebs away and beautiful long sunny days! If you’re looking for something that little bit different then why not consider spending coach holidays on 5 uninhabited islands that lie just 20 miles off the coast of Lands End? Well now is the time to do just that!
Each island is completely different with fantastic seascapes and on coach trips you will soon discover the timeless peace & tranquillity that envelop them. Children will love the many rock pools and may even catch a crab or two if they’re lucky. Older children can explore the nature trails, try out mountain biking and plenty of horse riding throughout their stay on the Islands. Adults will fall in love with the stunning scenery and can either laze about on the beautiful beaches or get active with a multitude of sports.
To keep the whole family entertained, hop on coach tours to try out windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, snorkelling, diving, swimming & fishing – and that’s just in the sea! For those who love dry land, you should definitely have a go at rock-climbing, cycling, a round of golf or simply enjoy the 60 mile walking routes round the Islands. If you’re lucky, you maybe able to see the famous Pilot Gigs Race – the Islands main sport, where islanders race each other in traditional 6 oar wooden boats from each Island.
Not forgetting the fabulous & varied cuisine that can be found on The Islands so don’t leave for coach tours home without sampling the fresh lobster, island-reared beef, crusty bread with a dollop of creamy organic butter from St. Agnes and wash it all down with a glass or two of wine from St Martin’s Vineyard before giving your tastebuds a real treat with home-made fudge or ice-cream!
