St. Agnes is the southernmost Scilly Island and is a mere one-mile across. It is relatively free of traffic and has a small community that has built up around flower farming. It is as idyllic as it is quiet and is perfect for those interested in getting away from it all.
St. Agnes really has managed to develop free from the influence of large commercial companies. As such the majority of things to do on the island revolve around natural wonders and the odd historical curiosity.
Attractions include: the Old Lighthouse - one of the oldest in Britain, Periglis Cove, St Warna's Cove - featuring a holy well dedicated to the patron saint of shipwrecks, Troy Town Maze, the terrifying rocks of Horse Point and Covean.
