Planning your journey
Your journey to St Agnes might seem complicated at first sight - but we promise you it is well worth the adventure. And it is fun to describe to your friends the unusual list of trains, taxis, light aircraft, minibuses, boats and golf-buggies that will bring you to your holiday!
The part of your journey that takes you over the 28 miles of Atlantic from Cornwall to Scilly can be accomplished by plane (Islander or Twin Otter) from Land's End, Newquay or Exeter, or by 'Scillonian III' - the passenger boat that crosses daily from Penzance. Both of these will bring you to St Mary's Quay (a shuttle bus brings plane passengers down from the small airport), where the Spirit of St Agnes will meet you to take you that little bit further towards the wild Western Approaches, and our island.
A link is provided below to Isles of Scilly Travel, who run both the Scillonian and Skybus, so you can explore your options further. Watch out for the promotional film with music by Piers's folk band: the Rough Island Band... Do ring us to ask any questions about making your travel arrangements, and we will organise the final leg of your journey from St Mary's with St Agnes Boating.
