Welcome to Talland Bay Hotel, Looe, Cornwall

A smattering of tiny granite islands,some 45 km off Land ’s End, the Isles of Scilly are ecologically important, due to the large numbers of rare birds which use them as a stopping off point during migration. Populations of seals and porpoises flourish here and there are fantastic intertidal habitats.

The Isles of Scilly can be accessed via air or sea – there is a heliport and the Scillonian III ferry at Penzance. Fixed wing aircraft links are available from Land ’s End and Newquay airports.
