Former Prime Minister Lord Harold Wilson is<br />
buried in the peaceful churchyard at Old Town on<br />
the South Coast, where you’ll also discover many<br />
lovely places to eat. <strong>The</strong> lighthouse at Peninnis<br />
Head offers stunning views of the prominent rock<br />
formations of Pulpit Rock, Tooth Rock and<br />
the ‘Sleeping Giant’.<br />
A slightly longer walk away, you’ll find Watermill<br />
Cove and Pelistry Beach, where at low tide you can<br />
walk across to Toll’s Island, and Porth Hellick Bay,<br />
a pretty cove with dramatic rock formations and a<br />
sheltered beach. Here a nature trail, famed for its<br />
abundance of native and migratory birds, stretches<br />
back to the tiny hamlet of Holy Vale. <strong>The</strong> Iron Age<br />
village at Halangy Down and Bronze Age tombs at<br />
Innisidgen give a fascinating insight of the islands’<br />
ancient history.<br />

Well worth a visit are Buzza Tower, originally<br />
a windmill but now home to a camera<br />
obscura and Museum of Curiosities, and the<br />
Old Lifeboat Station, packed with fascinating<br />
maritime history. At beautiful Porthmellon<br />
Beach you can hire kayaks and dinghies,<br />
and the 16th Century Garrison offers<br />
spectacular views across the archipelago.
