Tresco Abbey Gardens, Scilly Isles and places to stay

Abbey Gardens Tresco - This is a world famous garden situated around 28 miles from Cornwall on the Scilly Isles. We took the Helicopter from Penzance to Tresco. In 20 minutes we were transported to a different world. Tresco is a beautiful sub-tropical island & we spent three happy & relaxed days at the luxurious Island Hotel which is set in lush green gardens overlooking the sea. The 17 acre Abbey Gardens were started nearly 200 years ago they are still owned by the fifth generation of the same family and are truly spectacular. We saw Proteas (which we last saw in South Africa) and other exotic flowers from all over the world in full bloom alongside the daffodils.
