The Day Mark

Reviewed By RebeccaS5985

Situated out on the Eastern headland of St Martin's, Isles of Scilly, this landmark stands out from neighbouring islands. Well worth the walk up from the Quay if visiting on a boat trip. On a clear day you can see Cornwall and gannets diving off-shore. The colours of heather and gorse change through the seasons setting off the Day Mark as a beacon to head for as you walk around the island's varied coastline.

Garrison Gate

Reviewed By paullegate - St Ives, United Kingdom

Garrison Gate is located on the western edge of Hugh Town at the start of the Garrison Walls on the Headland. The fortified gate was built along with the other defences including the original defence walls and fortifications before the rest of the headland was surrounded by Garrison Walls. Garrison Gate is easily accessible from Hugh Town and is worth visiting along with the other preserved fortifications on the Headland.
