The Town, more formally known as Hugh Town, is the primary settlement on St Mary's, the largest island of the Isles of Scilly archipelago. This unique location places it approximately 28 miles southwest of the Cornish mainland, within the South West region of England. As the administrative and commercial hub of the Scillies, it is distinguished by its natural harbour, which serves as the main entry point for visitors and the lifeline for inter-island transport. The village is built on a narrow sand spit, connecting the historic Garrison peninsula to the rest of St Mary's, and its character is deeply intertwined with its maritime setting and the rhythm of island life.
