Pub Perfection at St Agnes

It’s already boasted as the best Pub in Scilly but this is without doubt the best pub I’ve been to. The Turks Head is the only pub on St Agnes Island; one of the Isles of Scilly off the Cornish Coast. It's an unspoilt, peaceful island with a population of under 100. However, you don’t simply stroll to this pub, but sail! Drinkers from neighbouring islands pack into their vessels and anchor up meters from the tavern. It was a fairly sunny day when I visited with my Cornish hunk (!) and we were entertained by live music and the stunning view. We drank the infamous Cornish Rattler Cyder (6%!) until the sun set and enjoyed a tipsy boat ride back to shore.  Perfection.
