This guidebook to walking on the Scilly Isles includes 11 day walks and 4 boat trips. The walks are between 1.5 and 10 miles long (2.5km and 16km), and explore the larger islands such as Tresco, St Martin's, St Mary's, St Agnes and Bryher as well as smaller islands in the archipelago. Alongside the walks, which are suitable for walkers of all abilities, are 4 boat trips which explore Annet and the Western Rocks, the Norrard Rocks, St Helens and Tean as well as the Eastern Isles. All routes are illustrated with OS mapping and contain lots of background information on the history, geology and ecology of the islands. There is also practical information on public transport services and accommodation. With their mild climate and relaxing atmosphere, the Isles make an ideal holiday destination, with stunning scenery, rich bird life and myriad wildflowers. Basking in sunshine, rising green and pleasant from the blue Atlantic Ocean, fringed by rugged cliffs and sandy beaches, they reveal their charms to those who walk the headlands, sail from island to island and take time to observe the sights, sounds and scents of the landscape.

1906 Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. Now, after stumbling across an old collection of letters and a map buried on her family's property, she's found more adventure than she ever anticipated in the hunt for pirate treasure. But in order to discover where the clues lead, she must search alongside Lord Sheridan, a man she finds insufferable. Sheridan has spent years pursuing whatever archaeological interests pique his imagination. And when he discovers that Beth's search connects with one of his far-removed pirate ancestors, he can't help getting involved. Plus, he finds her irresistible, even though she insists he stole a prized possession of hers. As they work together following different clues and drawing closer to danger, they start to piece together a story of tragic love and piratical adventure. But which treasure will bring the greatest surprise--the one they find in each other or the one just out of their reach?

The Isles of Scilly are one of Britain's best kept secrets. We want to keep it that way, so, apart from you, we are not going to tell anybody else about them. Please promise not to share this with friends, family, contacts, colleagues, perfect strangers and so on. Unless, of course, you are confident they will buy the book. If that's the case, spread the word. St Mary's, the other Saints Agnes and Martin's, along with Tresco and brave, battered Bryher offer the most stunning of holidays. Once bitten, you will be hooked. Forever. There are other, uninhabited islands in this archipelago nearly thirty miles off the coast of Land's End. Visit them as well. This book charts a family's ten years of visits. They are, they admit, very much newbies when compared to many regular holiday takers to Scilly. But, as the children have grown, the Peters' family have enjoyed so much, discovered so many aspects to the islands, tried so many new experiences, that they just have to share them with you. (Who, remember. they have carefully selected from the millions seeking to buy this book. If that's not an obligation to part with your cash, I don't know what is.) Learn about the individual characters of the different islands, share in the triumphs and disasters this ordinary family have experienced. Discover the location of the world's best tuna sandwiches, find out about touring the main island by golf cart, or how to appear on Scilly Radio and get your own favourite song wrecked by a local DJ. Learn a bit about the locals who live on this tropical paradise, somehow to be found in Northern Europe. The Isles of Scilly truly are Britain's most amazing islands, indeed, the word 'Britain' could easily be swapped for Europe or even 'The World'. This cheery read is perfect for anybody planning a holiday to Scilly, a couple of weeks, a short break or even a day trip (yes, it is possible). Equally, for those who simply enjoy finding out about their country in a bright and light-hearted way, read on and you might find next year's holiday plans sorted.
