The island of Tresco is famous for the diversity of its natural environment. Its landscape is hugely varied for such a small island with exposed heathland and granite outcrops in the north, farmland in its centre giving way to the sub tropical splendour of the amazing Abbey Gardens and in the south and east magnificent beaches which remind the visitor of a tropical paradise.
Famous for both its plant and bird life, Tresco offers visitors specialist holidays to ensure you get the most from your stay on the island.
Accommodation for these holidays is provided in one of Tresco's two hotels and its Inn.
Self catering accommodation is available in holiday cottages on the island.
Local facilities available include a post office, general store, laundry,church and bike hire facilities.
Tresco is home to a most unusual archaeological feature: a Roman altar which was brought here after being found in Hugh Town on St Mary's. The altar is
2.6 ft (0.8m) tall. It now stands in the Abbey Gardens.
A helicopter service operates all year round from Mon - Sat between Penzance and Tresco. Alternatively, visitors can arrive at St Mary's and travel to the island by boat.
