Stromness Saunters 2 - The West Shore
The town of Stromness is a wonderful place to see enjoy a walk and see lots of wildlife. Through the Stromness Saunters, I hope to show you the wildlife that you can find in and around my local patch.
The second of my Stromness Saunters, takes us through the town of Stromness to the Point of Ness and along the West shore, returning via the Gun Viewpoint. We will look at some of the wildlife that inhabits the town and once we reach the coast we will see a variety of seabirds, wildflowers, waders and insects as well as being rewarded with stunning views of the island of Hoy.
This walk is mainly on roads, pavements and paths, and is ideal if you are visiting Stromness for the day or on a cruise ship. It is also possible to do this as an Evening walk to take in a summer sunset.
Walk length approx 3 hours (3-4 miles).
If you would like to explore more of Stromness with us, then take a look at Stromness Saunters 1.
