*************

Old Town is a village on St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly located south of Hugh Town.^[1] It is thought to be the oldest settlement on the island. There is a village church, an inn (the Old Town Inn)^[2] two cafes, a village store and a day nursery. It is a popular tourist area and is only a short distance from the island's airport. As well as a number of self-catering holiday properties, Old Town also has a large proportion of dwellings permanently occupied by local residents.

In the centre of Old Town lies St Mary's Old Church (commonly known as Old Town Church) which is surrounded by the cemetery for St Mary's.

On a small but prominent knoll are the fragmentary remains of a small shell keep castle dating from the thirteenth or fourteenth century, known as Ennor Castle, which became redundant after Star Castle was built in the late sixteenth century.^[3]

Old Town Bay links the village with the open sea; the Gilstone, a prominent rock off Old Town Bay, should not be confused with a rock of the same name in the Western Rocks.
