Bryher, Isles of Scilly
Bryher ((コーンウォール語:Breyer), ''place of hills'') is the smallest of the five inhabited islands of the Isles of Scilly with a length of , a maximum width of and an area of , including Shipman Head, which rises to at the northern end of the island. Bryher lies to the west of Tresco, and is separated from that island by the Tresco Channel, once the main anchorage for the islands and now an area where sandflats are exposed at low tide. Off the southern end of Bryher is the uninhabited island of Samson. It is possible to walk between the three islands at the lowest spring tides. The centre of Bryher is mainly low-lying with arable fields, pasture and housing and is where most of the population of 83 lives. On the west side is the brackish Great Pool overlooked by the Hell Bay Hotel and in the south are sandy beaches, a common feature on the island, Rushy Bay being an example. The island lies within the Isles of Scilly Heritage Coast, is part of the Isles of Scilly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and untennanted land is leased by the Duchy of Cornwall to the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust which is using ponies and red ruby cattle〔(Western Morning News article )〕 to graze the overgrown areas as part of the ''Waves of Heath'' project. The name of the island is recorded as ''Brayer'' in 1336 and ''Brear'' in 1500.
==Hell Bay==
The infamous Hell Bay can be found on Bryher. This Atlantic-facing cove became a notorious place for shipwrecks over the 18th and 19th century though there is little evidence to support this, most ships having been wrecked before they even reached here.
