Isles of Scilly

Who would have thought that such a beautiful place did exist in all of England? The Isles of Scilly, situated approximately 20 miles west of Lands End have been an idyllic community for centuries. Largely managed by the Duchy of Cornwall, they are a place where life is slower, and where you get an appreciation for the amenities that matter most. And most importantly, with a footprint that could fit inside Heathrow Airport, you're never far from a beach.
