Description
Orkney is Scotland’s best-kept secret: a supreme outdoor destination that is more accessible than you think by ferry or plane. It offers world-class prehistory, approachable wildlife and welcoming Orcadian hospitality. Its patron saint, Magnus, has been celebrated in a pilgrimage walk 900 years after his martyrdom. For walkers, the 60-mile St Magnus Way has it all: manageable daily distances, coastal scenery, wildlife, brochs and tidal islands, historic interest and great variety. For cyclists, the 67-mile St Magnus Cycleway visits the same places but runs on tarmac and is readily split into two circuits.
This essential trail guide contains all you need to plan your visit on foot or bike:
– Foreword by Magnus Linklater
– Biography of St Magnus and his cathedral
– Planning info for travel by car, ferry and plane
– Richly illustrated sections on history, geology and wildlife
– visit info for museums, distilleries and the World Heritage Site
– Concise step-by-step directions
– 14 pages with route mapping at 1:30,000
– in full colour, with 101 photos
