English Heritage recommends walking or cycling. The pin marks the public-lane approach near Telegraph from which paths lead towards the monuments; it is not a visitor car park. Travel to St Mary's and any island transport are separate from free monument admission.
Bant's Carn and Halangy Down bring two periods of Scilly's history together on a hillside overlooking the sea. The Bronze Age entrance grave sits above the remains of an Iron Age settlement that continued in use through the Roman period. At the burial chamber, large capstones still cover the stone-lined interior; below, the outlines of houses make it possible to picture a small community occupying the sheltered slope. Interpretation panels explain the remains without dominating the setting, a balance that visitors particularly appreciate alongside the views towards neighbouring islands. Reach the site on foot or by bicycle and allow enough time for the return journey if arriving by boat at Hugh Town. Uneven paths and the sloping ground require reasonable mobility, and refreshments and toilets are elsewhere on the island. Dogs on leads are welcome, and English Heritage suggests walking on along the coast to Innisidgen Burial Chambers.
Open at reasonable times during daylight hours. Allow time to return for any separately booked island transport.
