As the sunshine beams down on the West Country, everyone is looking for the perfect getaway where you can cool down. And where better than a tropical island that is surrounded by sea - that's just two hours from Bristol?
The beautiful Isles of Scilly - which has been dubbed the mini-Maldives - can be reached by taking a train from Temple Meads to Exeter and then a short flight from the city. Outstandingly beautiful, uncrowded and unspoiled is how the official Isles of Scilly tourism website describes it, reports Devon Live.
After all, it’s the holiday destination of choice for Prince William and his family. Let’s not forget that he does own the islands as they are part of the Duchy of Cornwall.
