About

Tresco ward encompasses the entire island of Tresco, the second largest in the Isles of Scilly. The landscape is dominated by low heathland and sandy bays, with the island's famous subtropical Abbey Garden a central feature. The settlement is focused around the quay and a small cluster of properties, with much of the land managed for conservation. The surrounding clear waters and sheltered channels are integral to daily life and the local economy.

The island operates largely as a private estate, which shapes its distinct character. This management has preserved a sense of seclusion and maintained historical sites like the Valhalla collection of ship figureheads. Transport and logistics are defined by dependence on boat services to St. Mary's. The environment is a carefully balanced mix of cultivated gardens, natural habitats, and archaeological remains from various periods.
