Tresco

Tresco is the second largest island after St Mary's. It was once owned by Tavistock Abbey and is now leased by the Dorrien-Smith family.

The island is extremely picturesque and varies greatly from being very wild in the north, having lush sandy beaches in the south to the oasis of Abbey Garden, arguably the highlight of the island.

• The site of the Abbey was first established in the 10th century in the form of a Benedictine Abbey, the current Gardens were founded in 1834 and now house more than 5000 species of subtropical flora and fauna from all over the world.
