A look around the "capital" of the Scilly Isles. Hugh Town is a pretty little town set between two beaches and a fortified headland. There's plenty to see here with lots of history, scenic vistas and obviously, beautiful beaches.
Really enjoyable video of these special islands - no music or quirky camera angles - thank you. I live far away now but would love to see the other islands - St Agnes and Samson being two of my favourites.
Used to live on St Martin's till 1987. Had to leave as couldn't get anywhere to live . Too expensive to buy just things you need . Do miss the place and haven't been back . Would love to visit my friends grave to show my respect .
What a wonderful social history of Hugh Street, a street i have happily walked along many times. I was there in June 1987 on my honeymoon staying at the Wheelhouse on Porthcressa Beach and we visited for subsequent holidays for a number of years afterwards. The islands and it's people are a unique part of the British Isles. Such natural beauty in a small area. May they always they stay that way.
Can't believe how much traffic there was on a tiny island! Nonetheless, a seriously beautiful place. Must film a bike ride there when I'm next down! John
Yes, lots of cars and golf buggies around Hugh Town. Rest of the island is pretty quiet though. Hired bikes and went off for the afternoon one day and it was great. Surprisingly hilly though...
This place is only suitable for old folks. Pretty much nothing to do if you're young, the only enjoyment you're going to find is getting wasted at some pub, and trust me, everything is expensive.
