Bryher
Bryher is one of the smallest inhabited islands of the Isles of Scilly, with a population of 84 in 2011, spread across 134 hectares. The apparently larger population of 177 in 2021 is misleading - the census captures numbers sleeping on the island on a given date, and in 2021 this date fell during the tourist season and numbers therefore included visitors.Places of Interest
