    Hiking

    The Garden Island on the Scilly Isles. Extensive parkland on the island of Tresco. Entrance fees are reasonable by English standards.

    The Tresco Abbey Garden on the Scilly Isle of Tresco was created in the 19th century by Augustus Smith around the ruins of a former Benedictine abbey. Here, 48 km off the coast of Cornwall, an astounding 20,000 plants flourish. These come from every Mediterranean climate zone in the world – from Brazil to New Zealand and from Burma to South Africa.

    Beautiful ancient gardens laid out by Augustus Smith, Lord Proprietor of the Scillys, next to his stately home in the 19th century. Today the garden is home to over 2000 species of tropical and subtropical plants.
