The holidays include visits to sites of many different periods, from prehistoric to post-mediaeval, on the islands of St Agnes and Gugh, St Mary's and Tresco (including a guided tour of the Abbey Garden) as well as a trip to the uninhabited island of Samson. We also take the opportunity to look at the islands' birds, butterflies and flowers as we go.
