King Charles and Cromwells Castles

This is a view that you would hope hasn't changed that much in 20 years - considering both of these castles have stood (or in King Charles Castle's case, laid in ruin) for hundreds of years so far. It's a nice view though, showing the older castle on the top of the hill, along with the (relatively) new castle at the bottom which was constructed from the latter's stones.

Old Ruined House on Tresco

Here's another twenty-years-apart view, this time of the old ruined house on Tresco, near the Island Hotel. Other than getting a lot more overgrown and covered in plants, nothing much seems to have changed with this lovely old building. It's very interesting to see how much bigger the big palm-like tree in the background has got though!
