The Crim Rocks ( Cornish : An Creeban ) are an uninhabited group of islands in the far west of the Isles of Scilly . The islands are located 1.5 miles north-northwest of Bishop Rock and 400 m southwest of Zantman's Rock , and form the westernmost land mass in England . The name Crim probably comes from the Welsh Crimp , which means something like "rock ridge" or "ledge".
The archipelago belongs administratively to the Civil Parish St._Agnes_ (Isles of Scilly) in the southwest of the Isles of Scilly.
