Fascinating Archaeology on The Isles of Scilly
The Isles of Scilly have one of the greatest densities of historic sites in the whole of the British Isles, and St Mary’s is no exception. Most walks on the island will allow you close-up views of all manner of relics from the past – from Bronze Age burial chambers to World War II fortifications. Also well worth a visit are Obadiah’s barrow and the solitary Old Man of Gugh standing stone on St Agnes, and the Chapel Down stone idol on St Martin’s – thought to be around 3,000 years old.
