Getting To Tresco From Outside Of Britain
If you would like to plan a trip to Tresco or the Hell Bay on Bryher, originating your journey from outside of Britain, here are a few points that will help you.
You can fly from London Gatwick by Air Southwest - www.airsouthwest.com or London Stansted, by Ryanair - www.ryanair.com respectively, to Newquay in Cornwall – which takes about 75 minutes, with a 30 minute onward flight to the Isles of Scilly and a 20 minute boat trip to Tresco or Bryher.
Advanced booking of flights to the island and of the accommodation are essential.
Alternatively the journey to the Isles of Scilly, from London Paddington station takes 5 hours by train - www.railtrack.co.uk, www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk and you will see the quintessentially English countryside passing you by. Then the helicopter ride from Penzance takes a further 20 minutes, directly in to Tresco or to St Mary's.
