The Isles of Scilly are the most isolated and possibly the most beautiful islands in Britain, located 30 miles off the South West mainland. They comprise 150 islands which together make up one of the world's biggest archipelagos. St Mary's is the largest island and boasts a variety of landscapes ranging from woodlands, heaths and wetlands to rocky headlands and sand dunes. The islands' humid climate is a result of being close to the warm Gulf Stream.
