Guided Walking on the Isles of Scilly

32 miles with 4-10 miles and minimal ascent each day.

The itinerary may vary depending on the tide and weather conditions.

Day 1: Arrive on St Mary’s, the largest of the islands, and our base for the holiday.

Day 2: Tresco - Today’s walk is on Tresco, silent stretches of white sand beaches and heather-clad moors. Ample time is left to visit the world renowned Abbey Gardens, more affectionately known as 'Kew with the roof off' (payable locally). 6 miles, 9.6km

Day 3: St Agnes & Gugh - A journey to St Agnes takes in the best archaeological sites. Our walk traverses Gugh’s glistening white sandbar to explore standing stones and bronze-age burial graves. 5 miles, 8km

Day 4: St Martin's - A lazy stroll on St Martin’s reveals wide expanses of shimmering white sand, beautiful bulb fields and Scilly’s only vineyard; a landscape that has inspired many artists to make their home here. 6½ miles, 10.5km

Day 5: St Mary’s circular - The springy turf coastal paths of St Mary’s provide today’s stunning panoramas. Nature trails, tea-shops and beautiful bays line our way on a circular walk around the island. 10 miles, 16km

Day 6: Bryher - Our final island is Bryher, the setting of the book “Why the Whales Came”. An exploration invites us to wind our way over turf-clad cliff-tops, to the windswept Hell Bay, and its maze of gull-haunted ledges. 5 miles, 8km

Day 7: Departure day
