Beautiful almost tropical islands with a small puffin colony

The Isles of Scilly, a group of small islands off the coast of Cornwall, England, are like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. With their mild climate and stunning rocky coasts, these islands offer a unique blend of flora and fauna not found on the English mainland. Home to only a few inhabited islands, the Isles of Scilly thrive on tourism, flower growing, and fishing. Visitors can explore historic sites, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and soak up the laid-back island vibes. It's a little slice of paradise just a ferry ride away from the mainland.
