Data

The Norrard Rocks (or "Northern Rocks") are a group of small uninhabited granite rocks in the north–western part of the Isles of Scilly, to the west of Bryher and Samson.

The Norrad Rocks are designated as a "Site of Special Scientific Interest" for their breeding seabird colonies. The vegetation on the islands is limited by the extreme exposure and only six species of plants have been recorded.[1]
