How To Get To Isles of Scilly Test Centre
To reach the Isles of Scilly, begin your journey by heading to Penzance, a town in Cornwall. Accessing Penzance is straightforward: take the A30 if you’re driving, or use the train services from major cities like London or Exeter. Upon arrival in Penzance, you’ll find the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company’s ferry terminal. The ferry, known as the Scillonian III, will take you on a scenic 2.5-hour voyage to St. Mary’s, the largest island. Alternatively, consider flying from Land’s End, Newquay, or Exeter airports with Skybus. Flights tend to take between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the departure point. Land’s End Airport is particularly close, requiring a short taxi ride from Penzance. Keep in mind that schedules may vary with the season, so it’s wise to check in advance. If traveling by ferry, bring essentials as onboard facilities are limited. Weather can influence travel plans, so consider flexibility in your itinerary. Upon arrival at St. Mary’s, local taxis or bike rentals are available to further explore the island. Ensure to book accommodations and activities ahead of time, especially during peak seasons.
