This page features two different views from inside King Charles’ Castle. The first is, I believe, looking north – seen here in 1994 and 2006. The second shot is looking west towards the top of Bryher, shown here in 2000 and 2006.

Innisidgen burial chambers, St Marys
Innisidgen burial chambers on St Marys, seen here in 2000, 2005 and 2006. This is the upper chamber of the two bronze-age burial sites. The 2005 shot is used here courtesy of John Jenkins – thanks John!
Hugh St looking towards the Chemist, St Marys
The view down Hugh Street towards the quay, on St Marys, seen here in 1987 and 2006. In the middle you can see the chemist, and to the right the Atlantic Inn.
The old boat on Gugh, St Agnes
The old boat which you will often find outside the big house on Gugh, just up the beach slightly from the sand bar – seen here in 1997, 2005 and 2006. The 2007 shot was very kindly sent in by Alison Sutherland – thanks Alison! And the 2005 shot is used with kind permission of…
The Garrison, St Marys – Tree damage
After the big storm in 1987, lots of the trees on the Garrison were uprooted. This shot shows on particularly fine specimen, shown here in 1988 and 1992.
Fraggle Rock Cafe, Bryher
The Fraggle Rock cafe / restaurant on Bryher, pictured here in 1991 (before it got extended) and 2006 (with it’s snazzy new restaurant). I remember back in the ’80s when it wasn’t even a pub – more of a cafe if I remember correctly?
Cromwell’s Castle, Tresco
Cromwell’s Castle seen from the top of the hill on Tresco, pictured here in 1989 and 2006. Cromwell had this castle built looking out over Tresco Harbour, using some of the stones from King Charles’ Castle at the top of the hill.
Camel Rock, St Marys
Camel Rock on St Marys, pictured here in 1987 and 2006. The annual Scilly music festival takes place at Camel Rock each year.
Burnt Island, St Agnes
The strange structure on Burnt Island off St Agnes, pictured here in 2004 and 2006. I’ve never been entirely clear on what this is for – any ideas?
Bryher All Saints Church
The All Saints Anglican church just up the road from the main quay on Bryher, pictured here in 1996, and 2005 and 2006. Apparently this church holds the honour of being the most westerly church in the (Anglican) Provinces of Canterbury and York! Once again, the 2005 shot is used by permission of John Jenkins
