About Old Town

Old Town reveals itself as a quiet harbour of salt-scrubbed stone and Atlantic light on the eastern side of St Mary’s. It lies 0.8 miles east of Hugh Town (from Hugh Town: bearing 96°T, OS grid SV 915 103). The morning tide pulls back from the shore to expose the barnacled ribs of the Old Quay, where the sea has long since ceased its heavy commerce. Above the water, the fragmented masonry of Ennor Castle stands as a silent witness to the centuries, its rugged silhouette softened by the persistent growth of island gorse. To the north-west, the marshy reed beds of the Lower Moors SSSI provide a verdant sanctuary where the air hums with the movement of migratory birds. The land here rises in gentle slopes, catching the sun in a way that turns the granite walls of every cottage into warm, glowing embers. Old Town maintains a stillness that feels untouched by the frantic pace of the mainland, defined instead by the rhythmic pulse of the tides. Here, the boundary between the wild, unruly ocean and the cultivated garden is blurred by the constant drift of salt spray.
