England is the largest and most populous of the four 'home nations' that make up the United Kingdom. Geographically England is defined as the region in the central and southern parts of the United Kingdom with Scotland to the North, Wales to the West and North Ireland to the West across the Irish Sea. England can be divided into Northern England, the Midlands and Southern England with London in the South as the capital and center of finance and culture. Ferry travel is a very popular and well developed mode of reaching England, especially with visitors from Ireland and Northern Europe. It is an island after all. With a choice of numerous ferry ports on offer connecting the likes of Ireland across the Irish Sea, France across the channel and Holland across the North Sea, it is no surprise that crossings to England and its numerous world class ports are managed by some of the largest, luxurious and most well-known ferry companies in operation.
The Isles of Scilly make up the southernmost location in England, encompassing five inhabited islands called St Mary’s, St Agnes, Bryher, Tresco and St Martin’s, thirty five miles from the Cornish peninsula. Despite their proximity to the mainland, the Scillies feel totally separate from England, characterised by Caribbean-style shorelines, glorious vineyards, turquoise seas and some of the lowest crime rates in the world. Throughout the islands, readily available are top-quality water sports, sumptuous seafood restaurants, a fully flourished arts culture and plenty of scenic walking routes. Family camping holidays and long boat trips are also popular choices, thanks to the islands’ isolated position and unspoiled landscape. Travelling by ferry is by far the most affordable way of reaching the Isles of Scilly from England. Ferries depart Penzance in Cornwall half a dozen times a week, arriving in the port of St Mary’s in under three hours.
