As Easter arrives, Burgh Island awakens with the beauty of the changing season. Spring flowers begin to bloom, adding bursts of colour to the island’s rugged landscape. The slightly milder temperatures make coastal walks all the more inviting, with golden sunlight dancing atop the waves and longer days allowing for unhurried moments of relaxation. This is a time of quiet renewal, where the island’s natural beauty transforms, offering the perfect backdrop for an elegant and refreshing escape.

Activities and Experiences

Easter on Burgh Island is a time to embrace the beauty of spring while indulging in moments of pure relaxation. On the island, you’ll find a bounty of things to keep you busy, whether you enjoy the challenge of a coastal walk or the simple calm of a hot tea and a good book by a window.

As the island begins to bloom, this unspoilt backdrop becomes even more enchanting, offering the perfect setting for quiet reflection or simply soaking in the season’s charm.

 

For those drawn to the island’s rich heritage, exploring its historic landmarks is a must.
