                <description><![CDATA[It's the most compact of the five inhabited isles and the least touristy of the five as it still retains a working character to it. You can easily walk around it in a day if taking it in as a trip from the other islands taking in the wildness of Wingletang down, the Horse head rock, Troytown maze and fit in lunch and afternoon tea at The Turks head pub, Cove Vean cafe or the Coastguards cafe.<br>Better still stay there and feel just that bit more away from the rest of the world. I stayed there on my first trip there in 1989 and still like it best of all the islands there especially due to seeing the new bird species I've seen there in 20 years of travelling there.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A series of splendidly named valleys facing westwards between Land's End and St Ives. Renowned for birds in the autumn, especially rare ones. A number of first sightings for Britain have been found in them. <br><br>Great views at the seaward ends of the valleys where you can link onto the Cornish coast path. For softies, Cot Valley is the easiest access with a smallish car park at the end of the valley. <br><br>Views of the rocks called the Brisons off shore and Scilly on a clear day. Be prepared to back up a way when driving though! <br><br>Also worth a look: Nanquidno next to Land's End aerodrome just south of St Just off the B3306, Kenidjack just north of St just and Pendeen lighthouse.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Pub just off the seafront. Excellent beer, usually busy but with a landlord that has time for anyone coming in, regardless of whether they are regulars or, like me, twice a year visitors on the way to or from the Scilly Isles.<br><br>Also worth a try, especially if arriving off the Scilly Isles ferry, is the Dolphin pub opposite the quay. A twice-a-year ritual for me and my friends that go with me to Scilly is the walk from the B&amp;B in Alexandra Road to the Dolphin for a meal along the seafront and then to return to the Alexandra afterwards before returning to the B&amp;B. <br><br>Can be beautiful, but can be bracing and hairy if the wind's blowing from the south and the tide's up. Watch the local kids dodging (not always successfully) the waves breaking over the seawall.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Probably the best beach in the Highlands with beautiful dunes at the far end. Walk up there and climb to the top of them and, in the summer, you are in a Puffin colony and you can just lay down and have them come and look at you.<br><br>Add the drive from Ullapool by Loch Assynt and it's the best day trip in Scotland.]]></description>
