The tranquil and beautiful island of St.Agnes has the most south-westerly community in the British Isles.
Flower farming and fishing are the traditional occupations and visitors can enjoy a stress-free holiday with the silence only broken by the natural sounds of sea or birds. A footpath follows the deeply indented coastline, revealing beautiful sandy coves, rugged granite outcrops, heath, downland, meadow and a freshwater pool.
This habitat attracts butterflies and moths and is often the first landfall for American vagrants or migrating birds. There is a profusion of wild flowers and lichens, testament to the unpolluted atmosphere and the brilliance of the night stars can be enjoyed on safe and solitary strolls.
There is a variety of accommodation, in guest houses, self-catering cottages or on the campsite, with its outstanding views to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse and the Western Isles.
St Agnes boasts the most south westerly pub in Great Britain. The Turk´s Head situated right on the quay offers a wonderful distraction for an hour or several!
