St Helen's, Isles of Scilly
St Helen's ((コーンウォール語:Enys Elidius)) is one of the fifty or so uninhabited islands in the archipelago of the Isles of Scilly and has an approximate area of 0.20 km2. On the south side of the island is one of the earliest Christian sites in Scilly, an early medieval religious complex, which is thought to be the remains of St Elidius Hermitage, an 8th-century chapel lived in by Saint Lide, (also known as Elid or Elidius). There are also the remains of an isolation hospital used to quarantine sailors with plague. The island is the major part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK033-Isles of Scilly )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/2000319.pdf )〕 and some features have been given the designation of scheduled ancient monument.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ancient Monuments-History on the ground )〕 Access to the island is through chartered or private boat,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St. Helens )〕 although there are some season trips throughout the summer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Important Information )〕 St Helen's is currently managed by the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust.
