Stromness Shoreline Walk

Seaside Stroll and Visit to Charming Fishing Village Discover the quaint beauty of Stromness as you take a scenic stroll along its shores. A traditional seaside village where old fishermen’s cottages line the sea wall and fishing boats occupy the harbor, Stromness has an age-old connection to the sea. Transfer through Orkney’s rolling countryside to Warbeth Bay. Set off by foot along a coastal path fronting the sea, passing striking views of the formidable hills of Hoy, Hoy Sound and derelict gun batteries left over from both world wars. Enter the village to admire the picturesque harbor and pretty flagstone street of this seafaring town. Learn about its unique architectural character and its artistic and literary heritage. Afterward, continue with your guide, or enjoy free time for independent exploration of the local cafés, as well as craft shops selling local knitwear, pottery and artwork. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
