About the neighbourhood
Orkney has it all.... great walks, scenery and views. Add archaeology, wildlife, birds, stunning skies, beautiful beaches and gorgeous crafts and jewellery and fabulous food - what more could you want?!
Getting around
There are opportunities to go on a tour - prebook with tourguide, a hop-on/hop-off bus tour round some of the main sites, a limited bus service, you can hire bikes... but i would really recommend a car to get the most out of your visit.
