Tresco Island East and Southern fringes

 
One of our first walks was across the 'waist' of Tresco from our base at The New Inn in New Grimsby to Old Grimsby.

 Not surprisingly we had to make the detour to The Old Blockhouse, and the views from the high points across to smaller islands  were breathtaking. With steps within to take one higher to be amazed by the bright white beaches on this side of the island.

Some more pebbly parts were equally interesting and finding some worn pebbles I tried balancing a few to try to emulate the blocks of granite standing up above the beach further along. 

The Sand dunes were interesting, and many plants looking like Tresco garden escapees flourished amongst the grasses.

There weren't any rock pools to explore but none the less a little walk along the seas edge was interesting, and I understand that these are just sun bleached seaweed. They looked in all other ways healthy, pliable and attached to rocks undamed and intact.

Yes this  is a truly wonderful island with excellent uncrowded, dare I say it 'deserted' beaches.
