So close to mainland UK, but further south so ever so slightly tropical! Would be lovely to visit in the early spring I should think. The botanical gardens look amazing. Great for wildlife watching.

In some winters they never see signs of frost. They're the first landfall most oceangoing passengers see on journeys from North America. Charles, the Prince of Wales (who is the duke of Cornwall as well), makes regular visits to Scilly. Five inhabited and more than 100 uninhabited islands are in the group. Some are only a few square miles, whereas others, such as the largest, St. Mary's, encompass some 77 sq. km (30 sq. miles). Three of these islands -- Tresco, St. Mary's, and St. Agnes -- attract visitors from the mainland. Early flowers are the main export and tourism is the main industry. (read article)
