Tresco

This exclusive private subtropical island is 30 miles from Lands End, where seals and dolphins swim, crowds are unknown, children play in safety, cars are banned, and the only sound is bird-song. Tresco offers 4 miles of silver sand, sheltered coves, subtropical plants, caves, ruined castles, and a warm Gulf Stream climate. The 3- and 4-bedroom converted period cottages are in rural and beach settings.
