The End of England: Isles of Scilly

Islands.
Islanders.
Surrounded by water đź’§
All around, the four sides of the sea melt and form a deep 360° boundary, encapsulation.

It’s Indian Summer’25 and I am on Tresco Island. I am preparing to visually write about ISLES OF SCILLY.

Welcome to my ISLANDS blog that will be growing with time.

I went to visit Abbey Gardens on Tresco Island with a boat. I was surprised by the feeling, the atmosphere and what it did to me. I haven’t felt so happy in a place since I visited Vancouver Island 20 years ago!

I met a local man here, too, Julian*, who is a biologist, working with archeologists and volunteers on the Isles. His history is very uniqie as he moved from Orkney Islands to Scilly some years ago

Nothing is more precious than personal stories told over a beer.

The next day I visited St. Agnes Island where a 300 years’ old labirynth exists and has lots to do with Vikings. Julian has sent me there.

I walked around the island quite blindly without a map or phone and there was no guarantees I find the LABIRYNTH.

But I did!

Isles of Scilly won my heart and as much as I almost never come back to the same travelling destination, I will come back to Tresco and Agnes.
