Burwick Coastal Walk
This beautiful walk follows a cliff top path along the west coast of South Ronaldsay where we can escape the crowds and get off the beaten track a bit.
There are plenty of opportunities to spot a huge variety of wildlife throughout the summer months including seabirds, seals, wildflowers, insects (butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, etc) and maybe some cetaceans if we are very lucky. The views on a clear day are stunning!
This is a linear walk so we will return by the same route.
It is possible to extend this walk if you are interested in something a bit longer.
NB This is a narrow cliff top path, if you suffer from vertigo please inform us at the time of enquiry/booking.
Please wear walking boots, and bring warm waterproof clothing, a drink and a snack.
Further information about where to meet and what to bring with you will be included in the booking confirmation.
From £45 per adult

Wild Orkney Walks

We can take you by foot to beautiful locations, allowing you to escape the crowds and get off the beaten track. From busy seabird cliffs to colourful wildflower meadows, our walks cover it all.

One of the many things we love about walking in Orkney is the surprise of the unknown, you just never know what you might see which adds to the enjoyment of being outdoors.
