With the Atlantic waves pounding rugged cliffs on one side and calm sandy beaches on the other, Bryher is an island of dramatic contrast and the perfect place to enjoy a taste of untamed Scilly. Just one and a half miles long by half a mile wide, the entire island is criss-crossed by tracks so you’ll have no problem stepping out and exploring. As you walk, take in the rocky coves, white sandy beaches and small granite hills, which offer great view points. You can also admire the granite stacks on Shipman Head, absorb the calm and tranquillity of Rushy Bay, admire the works of local artisans at the Bryher Gallery, and be sure to pop into the seasonal Crab Shack at the renowned Hell Bay Hotel.
