Return to the Bishop Rock, Scilly

We were pleased, as we approached the Bishop Rock, that the tickets we had were returns.

The rocks in the foreground are probably Jacky's Rock, with Jolly Rock beyond. The Bishop Rock is approximately three kilometres beyond these.

Ruined Cottage on Rosevear

This cottage was built for the workers building the Bishop Rock Lighthouse and has been abandoned since the construction ended in 1858. It would appear that it was built just about as soundly as the light itself as it is remarkably well preserved. Note that it was built to the north east of a large carn, sheltered from the southwesterly weather.
