The beach and anchorage at Cove, between Gugh and St Agnes

The Cove

The wild flowers on all the islands are plentiful and impressive and on some islands the hedge rows had been invaded with exotics and on others the hedge rows were exotic and had been planted to protect the fields of bulbs that they export around the world.

Wild flowers, St Agnes

Exotic hedge rows , St Mary’s

Looking towards the Bishops Rock from St Agnes

We spent one night at Porth Arthur, completely deserted apart from the seals and the nesting colony of gulls and oyster catchers.
