Visit to Tresco - Isles of Scilly
Part 1
On a lovely sunny day, I took the island ferry over to Tresco to walk the coastal path.
Approaching the Old Blockhouse fort guarding the original harbour called 'Old Grimsby'. Built around 1548 to protect the harbour from foreign warships and privateers.
Yachts at anchor in the Old Grimsby harbour
Tresco has a range of beautiful flowers
Climbing the North Down gives wonderful views - here of Round Island
This is the archaeology of a chambered tomb from the Neolithic era around 2500 BC !
Intriguing wall base - from ancient habitation?
One of the many trip boats heads past the northern rocks
Looking down into Piper's Hole
The sea washing in on the north coast of Tresco
These are the northern tip of Bryher Island
A view south to the New Grimsby sound and Cromwell's Tower
