Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox islands Crim Rocks (Шаблон:Lang-kw "little reef")[1] is a small group of uninhabited islands in the Isles of Scilly, England, United Kingdom.

The Crim Rocks are the most westward of the archipelago's Western Rocks,[2][3] therefore making them the westernmost point of England. They are approximately Шаблон:Convert north of Bishop Rock,[4] and about Шаблон:Convert southwest of Zantman's Rock. The name may be cognate with the Middle Welsh "crimp" meaning "shin, ridge, or ledge."[2] The most conspicuous of the Crim Rocks is the Peaked Rock.[4] At least thirty ships are known to have been wrecked on the Crims.[3]
