For some peace and quiet head for St. Martin's - the third largest of the Scilly Isles.

It's a place for lovers of the outdoors, with not much in the way of shops but all the basics needed to enjoy a gentle break.

The cliffs are covered in purple heather and gorse, with sandy beaches, secluded coves and safe bathing areas for all.
The autumn is one of the best times to pay a visit if you're a bird lover as this is when many are on the islands.
