St Mary's Guide

What is there to do in St Mary’s?

St Mary’s is a world in its own; Hugh Town, the centre of the island, is a haven of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs – offering a myriad of drink to sample, authentic clothing to try and an abundance of foods to taste. The town centre is the busiest part of the island, and possibly the busiest region in the entirety of the Scilly Isles; the collection of visitors and tourists enjoying a beer or a glass of wine is the closest the archipelago comes to resembling life on the mainland. For a relatively small island, there is plenty to do, especially in the summer when the weather lends itself to a leisurely stroll along the alluring walking trails. Whether you prefer to traverse on two wheels or on two feet, the rugged landscape is perfect for adventuring around to discover the perfect place for enviable photos. Away from the natural beauty, the architecture of the Old Town is a fascinating insight into the infrastructural history of the island.

How do you get around St Mary’s?

Most choose to travel by foot or bicycle, however, driving is also a viable option for transport.


Penzance Guide

What is there to do in Penzance?

Holding onto the authentic romance synonymous with Cornwall, Penzance doesn’t hold the glorious beaches or polished aesthetics of other port areas, yet you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more enjoyable place than the seafront’s refreshingly simplistic promenade. Whilst the entirety of Cornwall may exemplify a laid-back surfing town, Penzance’s unusual image is what makes it standout; Victorian style promenades, ancient buildings and the Egyptian House exude a culturally historic vibe, however, the abundance of palm trees and tropical foliage typifies a Mediterranean holiday destination. Penzance, quite simply, is a town like no other. In a town like Penzance it is tempting to spend the entire time embracing the beautiful great outdoors, yet there is plenty of things to do: Penzance’s Savoy Cinema is believed to be England’s longest running cinema, showing independent films that are unlikely to be shown in mainstream media. The Penlee House Museum offers an insight into Cornwall’s history of arts, and to witness contemporary, modern art, head to the trendy Exchange Gallery. After a day of sightseeing and walking, there is no better way to spend an evening than in one of the top-drawer restaurants, or for a truly traditional Penzance experience, sample some of the famous fish and chips whilst looking out over the sea.

How do visitors get around Penzance?

Due to the beautiful surroundings, many choose to wander around Penzance. For those who don’t fancy an arduous walk, there are taxis available at affordable prices.
