In Summer 2019 I took a trip to the southern most point of the British Isles. This is what happened. New type of video here. Let me know what you think.

Man, the music, your narration and quality of these vids bring me into a state of awe/meditation, somehow revives my love for history and my imagination. Love your work man. Wonderful, educational and relaxing.

What a fascinating documentary on a rather obscure and little known topic, especially for your viewers outside of the UK. Thanks Pete, very well done indeed.

[TheLacedaemonian]

A new video by Pete Kelly? My morning just got a whole lot better!

[lesshrubb]

I visited these islands as a small boy in the early 1960's. Your documentary brought all of my experiences back to me as if it was yesterday. Many thanks for a fine video.

Worked on the isles about 20 years ago, loved it! You got a chopper over back then 😎

I am a Cornishman from Penzance Cornwall. My Grandad was born on Tresco and grew up on St.Mary’s before moving to the mainland. Amazing things to be found there!

It's Friday, I have an IPA from a local brewery and snacks in a bowl, now it's time to sit down, relax and enjoy. Thank you for all your work Pete, as usual, it's top notch

[SarahSmith-nrwj]

This was so well produced, and so relaxing to watch. I really love that your narrative doesn't just focus on science and facts (which let's face it can only ever postulate) but also refers to legend, and uses these beautiful places to wonder upon and imagine.

Been watching your stuff for a little while now and really wanted to comment on the high quality you have maintained throughout, yet each video has a nice warm personal feeling to it. Especially this one! Thank you for the work you put into them and encouraging us to keep learning.

[Riftrender]

I love Arthurian mythology. But what we really need is a movie on Irish Mythology.

[SteinVarjord]

The Scillies are on my list of places to sail to. Not a mere dream. I have the boat, the skills and the opportunity. Being Norwegian, it seems I’m not the first to go there. I promise to not loot and kill, though.

[jamieyoung]

Was there 20 years ago! Took the ferry and nearly missed the return sailing. Only a frantic yomp saved us. Fantastically beautiful place.

[domhuckle]

Absolutely astonishing video. Loved it. Love the idea of rising seas washing away large chunks of pre-history. Love telling the story of the world through the prism of one location

[jeccawillow]

I love history and thoroughly enjoyed watching this one on The Scilly isles. Thank you for sharing this fab and awe inspiring and interesting documentary.

[dollyjeanstevens]

My grandfather was born on Tresco in the 1900’s, beautiful place!

[allonzehe]

I LOVE videos like this that take a specific spot and cover thousands of years of history. I've watched this five times, there's so much in it!

[LittleNoiseBoy]

Really enjoyed that, thank you. Never ceases to amaze (and shame) me how little I know about my own country! Thanks for teaching me something ...

[barbarajennings]

I cannot put into words the beauty of your work here. Stunning. And I have seen everything on film and video plus accounts and narrations. You managed to create the next best thing to being there---and being there is no easy feat.

I flew from Penzance to Tresco by helicopter to work as a chef for six months in the early 2000s the isles of Scilly has some amazing views. they also held the smallest marathon on Tresco when I was there 27 miles run on an island barely a mile by half a mile. It was nice to sit in the ruins of the castle on Tresco late at night once all the tourist had left
