A boat off the north of Tresco Taken in 2005 but only just being submitted, so I hope I have the view direction correct. Tresco is a wonderful peaceful island at any time of the year, but especially in Spring.

From Shipman Head Down, Bryher to Abbey Farm, Tresco, Scilly From Shipman Head Down on Bryher looking across New Grimsby Harbour to Abbey Farm buildings on Tresco. Immediately behind these farm buildings lies the Great Pool. Beyond wooded Abbey Hill the eastern side of St Mary's is visible. In the foreground, virtually at the shore line, is the White House where we had a memorable family holiday in the mid-1960s. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos.
