One of the first things you'll notice about Tresco is the peace and quiet – there aren't any cars on the island. At two miles by one mile it's easy to walk the length and the width of it without a problem for most people, so cars aren't really something that needs to be there. Instead, most of Tresco is covered in stunning, subtropical gardens. It's a very popular Isle for vacations and day trips, whether family or romantic. The gardens that you find there are dated from 1834, and they have exotic plants, that come from all over the world. There are rare cacti and palms there, and many of those couldn't survive if they were on the mainland of the UK. There have been tall wind breaks built to protect the plants and even there are few buildings remaining from the older days of the island, there are still some ruins that can be viewed by those who take trips to the island.

If you like day trips and want to see ruins and beautiful plants, then Tresco on the Scilly Islands should be one of the places that you visit during your time in the UK. If you already live in the UK, you may not realize how close the beauty of Tresco really is, and some of the best vacations happen close to home. There are also many beautiful beaches on the island, so you'll want to come prepared to enjoy the sand and sun. When you've had your fill of soaking up the sun, you can also check out the shipwreck artifacts and exhibitions that are on the island and in some of the gardens. All in all, it's a great day trip for almost anyone who enjoys the beauty of nature and the sea.
