The Islands’ Partnership has today launched its biggest ever Walk Scilly festival programme which takes place 1st – 7th April 2017. Now in its 11 year, there are 29 walks from which to choose across the five inhabited islands and three of the uninhabited ones.
Each day from Saturday 1st to Friday 7th April, visitors – many of whom are likely to be first-timers to the islands – can choose from four or five whole and half day walks, and the programme has been arranged to make sure they can visit a different island a day, so as not to miss out on getting to see the whole archipelago.
All the walks are once again themed and will be led by experts in their field. Options include going foraging, strolling through sub-tropical gardens, taking a farm tour, beach combing for cowrie shells or simply walking each island Top to Toe. They will also be able to enjoy a sunset walk, immerse themselves in Scilly’s maritime history; explore the uninhabited islands and get up close to our wildlife.
The Islands’ Partnership Walk Scilly programme is being supported by the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust, Isles of Scilly Travel, St. Mary’s Boatmen’s Association, Juliet’s Restaurant & Bar and The Mermaid Inn. All the details of the Walk Scilly programme can be found on the Visit Isles of Scilly website.
