Getting back on track after that diversion, what exactly are Scilly islands and why should you visit them? They are a group of islands located off the coast of Cornwall, England, known for their stunning natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, and relaxed atmosphere. And, often an absence of tourists.

So, h are a few reasons why you might consider visiting. First, if you’re into history, The Scilly Isles have a rich history, dating back to prehistoric times. There are a selection of stunning historic sites to explore, including ancient monuments and castles.
