Title

Island Holiday - Tresco in the Isles of Scilly UK

Description

The islands of Tresco and Bryher are two of five inhabited islands of the Isles of Scilly, found 29 miles south west of Lands End.

Due to the prevailing effects of the Gulf Stream, climate is mild, with sunshine hours generally greater than the UK average, rainfall less, and winter frost and snow unexpected.

A wealthy merchant banker, Augustus Smith purchased the Isles from the Duchy of Cornwall in the mid-1830’s. The other islands have subsequently been ceded back to the Duchy, but Tresco remains in the ownership of the family, with the present owners being Robert and Lucy Dorrien-Smith, and the business is known as Tresco Estate.
