The stone seat in Tresco Gardens

Sort of a family tradition this one - the seat in the Abbey Gardens on Tresco, in 1997, 1999 and 2006. I've got an even older one somewhere with the whole family on, but can't find it!

King Charles Castle, Tresco

This page features two different views from inside King Charles' Castle. The first is, I believe, looking north - seen here in 1994 and 2006. The second shot is looking west towards the top of Bryher, shown here in 2000 and 2006.

Cromwell's Castle, Tresco

Cromwell's Castle seen from the top of the hill on Tresco, pictured here in 1989 and 2006. Cromwell had this castle built looking out over Tresco Harbour, using some of the stones from King Charles' Castle at the top of the hill.
