The
pub garden of the Turk's Head provides stunning views over the
sheltered bay between St. Agnes and the connected island of Gugh.
The
Turk's Head, just up from the quayside.
On
the western shore of St. Agnes, it seems that visitors and islanders
alike share
the hobby of pebble balancing! Some of these piles were a few dozen
stones tall!
A view northwards from the south-eastern
tip of St Agnes. The sand bar in
the centre of the image links St. Agnes (left) to Gugh (right) at low
tide.
The
most south-westerly tip of St Agnes, showing its rocky coastline. Beyond
the jagged western rocks is the open Atlantic. Just visible in the centre
of the image,
is the isolated Bishop's Rock lighthouse.
The
bizarrely sculped Horsehead boulder, and in the background,
Higher Town and the St. Agnes lighthouse.
The
Troy Town Maze of St. Agnes, created by Lighthousemen during periods
of calm in 1729, although it could be even old that this!
Traditional
flower fields on St. Agnes, one of the Isles of Scilly's largest exports.
Queuing
up on St. Agnes quayside, for our trip back to St. Mary's.
A
panoramic shot of St. Agnes, as seen from across the sandbar on Gugh.
On the
right of the image is the white building of the famous Turk's Head pub,
and also the
small quayside. Please click here
