ExceptionalCar-free private island with holiday cottages
Tresco Island
Tresco, Isles of Scilly
No cars, so children can cycle off to the beach on their own and you can actually relax about it. White sand, turquoise shallows, the subtropical Abbey Garden and boat hops to the other islands — it feels like abroad. Best for a long weekend given the journey.
