Depart from Kirkwall passing the magnificent St Magnus Cathedral before heading out into the rural landscape of Orkney’s East Mainland. After the scenic drive you’ll arrive at ‘The Gloup’, a geological feature where a sea cave has collapsed leaving a dramatic chasm.
Head out on your walking tour along the cliff tops. On foot you’ll pass ‘The Gloup’ before continuing to the natural promontory of the Brough of Deerness. This rocky outcrop was once a clifftop settlement. The tour will continue a little further along the cliffs for spectacular views over Mull Head and some of the smaller offshore islands. Besides being breathtaking, the cliffs are also a haven for cliff birds and local flora.Return to the coach to make the return journey to Kirkwall.
