About Dolphin Town

Dolphin Town, a quiet harbour hamlet, draws its breath from the salty air of the Isles of Scilly. It lies 5.0 km north-north-west of Hugh Town (from Hugh Town: bearing 342°T, OS grid SV 890 153), and is situated north-north-east of New Grimsby village. The weathered stone cottages of Dolphin Town huddle together, their slate roofs glinting under a sky that often shifts from pearly grey to a startling, vibrant blue. Life here unfolds with the gentle ebb and flow of the tides, the distant cries of seabirds a constant accompaniment. The small quay, often dappled with the reflected light of the water, serves as the heart of this close-knit community, a place where fishing boats, their paint chipped by salt and sun, bob patiently. The very air in Dolphin Town seems to carry the faint, sweet scent of wild thyme that grows in profusion on the surrounding slopes.
