Wildlife of Scilly
The wildlife of the Isles of Scilly is incredibly varied. If you're interested in things that fly, grow, swim, are rare, unique, bizarre or beautiful there is so much here.
The Isles of Scilly has some of the rarest UK species including the tiny dwarf pansy and least adder's tongue (Viola kitaibeliana and Ophioglossum lusitanicum), it also has its own mammal, the Scilly shrew, and insects, the St Martin's ant and the Scilly bee.


There are rare birds, tame birds and seabirds.
The marine environment adventure starts with rock pooling, progresses to boat trips and snorkelling, and then diving!
