  • A look around the "capital" of the Scilly Isles. Hugh Town is a pretty little town set between two beaches and a fortified headland. There's plenty to see here with lots of history, scenic vistas and obviously, beautiful beaches.

    Thanks for sharing this. For somebody living in Birmingham this might as well be on another planet! Looks beautiful

    Really enjoyable video of these special islands - no music or quirky camera angles - thank you. I live far away now but would love to see the other islands - St Agnes and Samson being two of my favourites.

      Thanks. I've got some great footage of St Agnes, Tresco and the rest of St Mary's which I will be adding at some point soon.

    Used to live on St Martin's till 1987. Had to leave as couldn't get anywhere to live . Too expensive to buy just things you need . Do miss the place and haven't been back . Would love to visit my friends grave to show my respect .

    Wonderful childhood memories of summer holidays here. On a sunny day, it takes some beating. Thanks for the tour!

      Definitely a special place. Only started going over when I was a grown up but hopefully my kids will think this...

    What a wonderful social history of Hugh Street, a street i have happily walked along many times.
    I was there in June 1987 on my honeymoon staying at the Wheelhouse on Porthcressa Beach and we visited for subsequent holidays for a number of years afterwards.
    The islands and it's people are a unique part of the British Isles. Such natural beauty in a small area. May they always they stay that way.

      Yes, unique and beautiful. Happily one of the few places that hasn't become a victim of its own charm - hopefully it will remain this way too.

    Hardly any war damages anymore from the Dutch Scilly war, amazing how quickly reconstruction was after 335 years of intense conflict

    Beautiful video footage; what kind of steady camera was used?

      @cornwallguide  Год назад

      Thanks. For this one I used the DJI Pocket.

    Really nice, like a hobbit place. A small paradise. Loved the video.

    Can't believe how much traffic there was on a tiny island! Nonetheless, a seriously beautiful place. Must film a bike ride there when I'm next down! John

    • @cornwallguide
      @cornwallguide  Год назад +1

      Yes, lots of cars and golf buggies around Hugh Town. Rest of the island is pretty quiet though. Hired bikes and went off for the afternoon one day and it was great. Surprisingly hilly though...

      everywhere takes contactless there now, though, as in the rest of the UK. Even many of the honesty boxes do.

    Who would have guessed that U.K had a Sicilian wannabe?

    This place is only suitable for old folks. Pretty much nothing to do if you're young, the only enjoyment you're going to find is getting wasted at some pub, and trust me, everything is expensive.
