| | Tresco News : New Heliport Opens |
 | | The new heliport, located on the Tresco Estate close to the world-famous Tresco Abbey Garden, includes an under-cover waiting area, computerised reservation and ticketing facilities, electronic baggage checking and handling, crew rest room, toilets, catering facilities and a mother and baby room. |
 | | Previously the heliport consisted of a grass pad with no basic amenities, and was prone to flooding, making it difficult to guarantee a continued winter service. |
 | | The new heliport, built by Symons Construction of St Ives, consists of a single-storey, timber-clad building, offering comfortable facilities and improved security to Tresco’s 34,000 visitors a year, as well as islanders. |
