This year marks Walk Scilly’s most commemorative milestone — twenty years of sharing unforgettable journeys on foot across our small but extraordinary archipelago, welcoming visitors and islanders alike.
Guided by passionate local experts in nature, history and the tales of the shipwreck isles, it is a festival unlike any other in the UK — set adrift in the Atlantic. Here, wildlife thrives whales pass through open waters, and seabirds gather in their thousands, from soaring gannets to the much-loved puffin.
It is a rare invitation — a chance to step ashore on an uninhabited island and to roam across all five inhabited isles: Tresco, St. Martin’s, St. Agnes, Bryher and St. Mary’s.
Each walk uncovers a rich tapestry of wild flora and fauna, intertwined with echoes of history and the lasting footprints of ancient lives embedded within the vibrant island community.
Beyond the walks, the festival offers experiences that celebrate the islands in every sense: hands-on seaweed workshops, a fascinating beehive
