Strewn out into the Atlantic off the southwestern tip of the England, the Isles of Scilly are an exotic escape from the mainland that bring a flavor of the Caribbean to the UK.
(CNN) — It's mid-morning when three velvet-helmeted swimmers suddenly bob up from deep underneath the turquoise sea. Dazzles of light dance as kayakers swoosh oars through glacier-clear water, propelling over a kelp forest towards Nor Nour, a tiny, deserted island.
