Gweal ( Cornish : Gwithial ) is an uninhabited island in the Isles of Scilly . It is located around 45 km off the coast of Cornwall , 250 m west of Bryher (Isles of Scilly) . The small island is at its highest point 29 m above sea level. The Cornish name of the Site of Special Scientific Interest means as much as place of the trees and probably comes from an earlier tree population on the island.
Gweal is the largest of the seven Norrard Rocks to the west of Bryher.
