Enjoy a full day at leisure today, the perfect opportunity to
visit one of the archipelago's other islands, such as St Agnes or
Bryher.
The island of St Agnes is on the most south-westerly edge of the
Isles of Scilly, offering unspoilt beaches amidst stunning
landscapes. St Agnes also has a prosperous farming community as the
island depends heavily on agriculture. Right next to St Agnes is
the uninhabited island of Annet, which is a bird sanctuary and it's
not rare to spot unique seabirds like European storm-petrels,
black-backed gull and manx shearwater among others. If you are
looking for a touch of culture, Pot Buoys Gallery showcases the
work of artists across the Scilly Isles, with much of their work
inspired by the idyllic local scenery.
The island of Bryher is famously known for being the setting of
the film 'When the Whales Came', based on the novel by author
Michael Morpurgo. The Bryher Shop, a general store with a post
office, is a charming place to visit. With freshlymade bread and
tatty cakes (potato cakes), you will be delighted with the array of
food on offer here. The island boasts quite a few charming cafés
and pubs, including Fraggle Rock, one of Britain's smallest bars,
and Vina Cafe. You could taste fresh homemade fudge at Veronica
Farm Fudge.
On Day 7, after breakfast, we transfer to St
Mary's ferry port for the ferry back to Penzance. After dinner in a
local restaurant here, you join the Riviera Sleeper back to London.
After our arrival back in London Paddington on Day
8, your tour concludes.
