WHAT'S ON

 During the season (April to October) details of the walks and boat trips which I am planning will be published here and updated on a weekly basis. Please note that many of these are weather-dependent and that the boatmen's decision is final.

If you are visiting Scilly and would like to visit a particular uninhabited island, please contact me two to three weeks in advance and I will try to arrange it while you are here.

I will be leading walks on Tresco on several dates between April and October. You can find all the details at https://www.tresco.co.uk/enjoying/events/archaeology-walks-with-dr-katharine-sawyer . Advance booking is advisable.
