The Phillipa Ashley guide to the Scilly Isles
Scilly is an archipelago of five tiny inhabited islands and hundreds of rocky islets, situated in the Atlantic 28 miles south west of Land’s End. The whole place is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and only 2,200 people live there.
As a wordsmith, the intriguing names of the islands were enough to give the place mythical status in my eyes. In fact, some people have speculated that St Mary’s, St Martin’s, St Agnes, Tresco and Bryher were once part of the lost land of Lyonesse that features in the Arthurian legends. On a clear day, you can actually see them from the cliffs around Land’s End.
Scilly is unique and small community and I wouldn’t want anyone to think I had used real people or business in my books which is why The Little Cornish Isles are a blend of fantasy and reality.
As I’ve said in the Author Note to the new series:
I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to decide where Scilly ends and the Little Cornish Isles begin.
