Isles of scilly⚓
A small archipelago consisting of 145 islands, 5 of which are inhabited, the Scilly Isles is home to a population of just over 2000 people off of Britain's southwest coast. The islands are accessible by boat and air, with a regular air service between St Mary's airport, and St Just at lands end since 1937. Later, in 1964, a second major route was opened up providing helicopter service between St Mary's and Penzance, with further access by air to the 2nd largest island, Tresco commencing in 1983 which sadly stopped services in 2012. More recently, as of 2020, Tresco heliport was re-opened, once again providing direct transport to the island. It is a popular destination for tourists, thanks to it's unusually warm climate and beautiful geology and beaches - often being compared to the likes of the Caribbean thanks to the white sands and sapphire blue waters.
