Tip by

1.66 km

Woolpack Battery was built in the late 19th, early 20th century as defenses for a signalling and re-fuelling station being built by the Navy. With a south south westerly aspect, the sunsets here are gorgeous, but the views are beautiful any time of the day.

St. Mary's Church, St. Mary's, Isles of Scilly

Highlight • Historical Site

Classic church from 1838. The building was designed by Augustus Smith himself. The window details are beautiful: there is a crab basket above St. Christopher and a lighthouse in the window next to it.

Porthmellon Beach

Highlight • Beach

Porthmellon (also known as Porth Mellon) boasts white sand, turquoise waters and views across to Tresco and Samson. You will often see people enjoying watersports here with kayakers, windsurfers and sailors taking to the water. It's just a short walk from Hugh Town so is a perfect place for a short walk for a sea swim and drink in The Beach cafe.

Harry's Walls

Highlight • Historical Site

Harry's Walls are the ruins of a former fortress built in the mid-16th century. The complex is free to visit.

Porth Loo Beach

Highlight • Beach

A 10 to 15 minute walk from Hugh Town will bring you to Porth Loo Beach, yet another beauty spot on St Mary's Island. It is sheltered by Newford Island to the south and Taylor's Island to the north. If you're staying in High Town it is a lovely place to watch the sunset and be back before its dark.
