Can I take my car to the Isles of Scilly?
As the Islands are not very large (the largest Island is 2 miles wide) a car is not needed for a holiday on the Islands. It is very easy to get around the Islands on foot or bicycle (bike hire available on St Mary’s and Tresco). Bus tours, boat trips and a taxi service are also available on St Mary’s. On rare occasions it may be possible to take a car but this is reserved for cases when it really cannot be avoided. Please be aware all large freight is craned on and off the ferry as it is not a roll-on-roll-off service.
