About Bryher
An island of dramatic contrasts with thundering Atlantic waves pounding Hell Bay in the west, while tranquil bays and peaceful sand beaches line the south and east coasts.
One of the smaller inhabited islands, it is known as ‘land of the hills’ due to its succession of prominent hills linked together by low-lying necks where farms and homes are clustered. The high point of the island is Watch Hill, at forty-three metres. Its main village, The Town, lies on the east coast opposite Tresco.
The island has a luxurious hotel, a campsite, a B&B and a number of self-catering cottages. For many, the local food and drink are the main reason they visit with local fish and shellfish, cafes, a pub, fine dining and a well-stocked island shop, along with a variety of home-grown produce. Bryher has two quays, Church Quay used at high water and Bar Quay used at low water, served by regular inter-island boats from St Mary’s and Tresco.
