Britain's most-visitable islands

Skye, Mull, Anglesey, the Scillies, the Channel Islands β€” fifteen islands worth the ferry.

Around 6,000 islands sit off the British coast. Some are essentially extensions of the mainland by bridge or causeway; others involve a serious ferry. These fifteen are the most visit-worthy β€” each has road access, accommodation, and at least a day's worth of itinerary.
