Lower Town (Cornish: Trewoles)[1] is the westernmost settlement on the island of St Martin's in the Isles of Scilly, England.
One of the island's two quays is located here,[2] sometimes referred to as the Hotel Quay, as the only hotel on the island, Karma St Martin's,[3] is located by it. Lower Town also has the island's only pub, The Seven Stones.[4]
The settlement is largely built on the hillside of Tinkler's Hill. The quay is located by Teän Sound.[2]
There is also a small settlement called Lower Town on the island of St Agnes. It contains the island's church (St Agnes' Church), community hall and sports facilities. In addition to Lower Town,[5] St. Martin's has two other settlements called Higher Town and Middle Town.
