Synopsis

Lying 28 miles southwest of the Cornish coast, the Isles of Scilly are a potent mixture of ancient history and piercingly beautiful beaches and seascapes. The islands are famed for their numerous ancient sites some of which have been submerged under the sea creating the legend of the lost land of Lyonnesse. This book contains an introduction to the ancient history and natural history of the islands. There are detailed maps of all the main islands each with its own commentary and helpful tips on how to get the most out of your visit.

About this title

About the Author

FRIENDLY GUIDES was set up in 1992. Partners Neil Reid and Caroline Schanche were both born and brought up in Cornwall. Much of the information in the guides is based on their own favourite places and on great days out with children, families and friends. A business that started with a hand drawn map of the Isles of Scilly has now grown to become Cornwall s leading publisher of guidebooks. The idea for the business is simple - we set out to provide the best possible photos, maps and writing for visitors and locals. Using our books should be like going for a walk with a well-informed and entertaining friend.
