Tropical Tresco…
Situated less than 30 miles off the Cornish coast, Tresco is a beautiful island boasting unspoilt sandy beaches, clear azure waters, tropical gardens … It’s a safe, peaceful haven away from the hustle and bustle of modern life…
Visit Cornwall
The Scilly Isles are like nowhere else on Earth. In all the years we have been visiting them, we have (apart from one out of season storm) always enjoyed the most wonderful weather. Each ‘Scilly’ has its own unique character and atmosphere and this can even change from one side of an island to the other or even by just turning around.
The photo above is one of hundreds that i took on this wonderful day in 2013, when for about the 5th time, we walked around Tresco in glorious sub-tropical sunshine. The clarity of the day, the pure white of the sand, the azure of the sea and the almost complete absence of anyone else on the entire eastern coat of the island , all made for the perfect walk.
Just to highlight how the Scillies change from one moment to the next, the photo below was taken facing north and I then turned and walked just a few yards before taking the main photo above facing south…talk about a sudden change in the feel of a place.
