You would probably be thinking of somewhere in the Caribbean perhaps, or South East Asia.Now imagine that once you victorious you have the endangerment go “island hopping” and take a wend ride to four other holiday islands, and if you’re feeling adventurous, as many as 140 uninhabited islands without that. Greece perhaps?But what if we told you that the ferry departs from the south western tip of England. And that the ferry’s destination moreover happens to be in England. It could only be one, very special place; The Isles of Scilly.The Isles of Scilly form an archipelago off the south west tip of the Cornish peninsula, England. They are located well-nigh 45 km or 28 miles yonder from the mainland in the Celtic Sea, although you could be forgiven for thinking they’re in the English Channel, or plane the Atlantic Ocean.There are 5 inhabited islands in the group, and as many as 140 more, too small or remote to live. Together all of these tiny islands make up one of the world’s largest archipelagos. The inhabited islands, and moreover the ones popular with visitors, are St Mary’s, Tresco, St Martin’s, Bryher, St Agnes. These islands have a combined population of virtually 2,000 people.The islands play host to a wide range of wildlife, from migratory birds to hundreds of seals, and to some species not seen on the UK mainland and plane unique to the Scilly Islands, such as the Scilly shrew. Since the islands rarely, if ever, have snow or frost, you can find some plants and trees you would expect to find in the sub tropics, which include plams and cacti, and moreover an unsual tree normally found in Hawaaii tabbed metrosideros (see increasingly well-nigh the unusual plants of the Isles of Scilly here).The Isles of Scilly make a unconfined nomination for all types of holidays, whether you’re looking for something sporty, or a bit of wildlife watching, or just a friendly, relaxed family holiday.Get there by ferry on the Scillonian III, a scheduled passenger ferry that operates daily between Penzance Harbour in Cornwall, and St Mary’s. For increasingly information and booking, see the official Isles of Scilly site here, or take a squint at the video prune unelevated (which moreover includes information on flights).Map of the ferry route from Penzance to St Mary’s, Isles of ScillyPhoto credits: Tresco; Lighthouse; Beach; Grey Seal; Scillionian IIIIt's good to share...Twitter0Facebook0Google+0Pinterest23  By Richard Davies         Follow Us… Search  Popular Ferry RoutesHull to ZeebruggeHarwich to EsbjergDover to CalaisPoole to CherbourgPoole to St MaloHarwich to Hook of HollandHull to RotterdamHolyhead to DublinHolyhead to Dun LaoghairePembroke to RosslarePlymouth to SantanderPortsmouth to Bilbao Recent pinsIncreasinglyPins    About Ferry TravelSpecial OffersNewsMapTimetablesFerry TravelChannel TunnelFerry OperatorsMini Cruises  Travel GuidesBelgiumChannel IslandsDenmarkFranceHollandIrelandIsle of ManNorthern IrelandSpain  About UsTermsContact UsCookiesAbout UsPrivacy  Follow Us Become a fan on Facebook Follow Us on Twitter Ferry Crossings on Google +      Copyright © 2018 Ferry Crossings – your guide to UK ferries.
