St Agnes Island

Separated from the other islands by a deep channel, St Agnes is a tiny island, only about a mile across and with a population of 75, which nevertheless has its own pub, cricket team, gig crew, fire brigade and coastguard crew. There is a sense of isolation from the other islands. This is often the first land encountered by migrating birds and as such it is a particularly spectacular spot for bird watching. St Agnes also has many archaeological sites, including the standing stone called 'The Old Man of Gugh'.
