St Agnes is the smallest and most southerly inhabited island in the Isles of Scilly, located off the coast of Cornwall. The ward covers the island and its smaller neighbor, Gugh, which are connected by a sandbar at low tide. The landscape is characterised by rocky outcrops, heathland, and small sandy coves, with few trees due to the exposed coastal conditions. The island has a small population, with a tight-knit community centred around the village near the quay.
St Agnes is known for its quiet, rural atmosphere and lack of cars, with most transport done on foot or by bike. The island has a primary school, a pub, and a few guesthouses, catering to visitors who come for the unspoiled scenery and wildlife. The coastline is dotted with historic sites, including the old lighthouse and Bronze Age burial chambers. Farming and tourism are the main economic activities, with flower growing and boat trips popular among locals and visitors alike.
On average St Agnes has moderate deprivation and very low crime levels, with around 31 crimes per 1,000 residents per year. Approximately 6.9% of homes in this area are social housing provided by a local council or housing association. The average income of residents in St Agnes is £50,200 per year.
