Explore Eday - The Wednesday Walk

This is the perfect option if you're on the mainland and only have a day to explore Eday

The usual walk is Eday Heritage Trail - a 5 mile walk over heather (taken at a gentle place) taking in Mill Loch, Setter Stone, Vinquoy Tomb, Red Head cliffs and Carrick House. Plus there's usually time for a visit to Eday's excellent Heritage Centre.

The ferry leaves Kirkwall at 1010 arriving on Eday at 1125. Jenny the Ranger will meet you at Eday Pier and provide a days worth of walking, wildlife, scenery, history and whatever else you can find.
Jenny will make sure you get back on that boat to Kirkwall at 1725.

There is no charge for ranger services although there is a fee for transport on the island.

17th July 2013
