About

St Mary's ward encompasses the largest island in the Isles of Scilly. The landscape includes a central area of heathland and farmland, with scattered settlements like Old Town and Hugh Town, the latter serving as the main hub. The coastline features several sheltered bays and coves, along with higher granite outcrops providing views across the archipelago. Much of the perimeter is rocky shore, with some sandy beaches popular in summer.

The island's interior contains historical sites such as the ancient Bant's Carn burial chamber and the remains of Star Castle, a fortress built in the 16th century. The Garrison walls, which encircle the western headland, offer a circular walk with expansive maritime vistas. The economy is oriented around the harbour in Hugh Town, which supports the ferry link to the mainland and local boating activities.
