Product Description
A guide to day walks on the Isles if Orkney and Shetland - off the northeastern tip of Britain.

This book is a must for anyone wanting to explore this diverse landscape on foot. Two sections - one for Orkney, the other for Shetland - describe over 80 walks, ranging from short strolls to ancient monuments to more challenging long coastal routes and moorland traverses. ? 80 walks on 25 islands across Orkney and Shetland ? full-colour photographs and OS mapping ? lots of information about the history of each area visited and the wildlife to look out for ? full details of how to get to, and travel around, the islands

Format:Paperback
This is a great book of walks for visitors to the Northern Isles. The walks range in length and difficulty and most are circular which is always an advantage. I found the instructions easy to follow and appreciated the additional information given on landmarks etc. The book is compact and easily fits in the pocket of your rucksack - I would definatley recommend it if you are visiting the Orkneys or Shetland

Format:Paperback
Thinking of travelling to Orkeny or Shetland? Then this is an excellent compact book that details walks 25 walks on Orkney and 55 walks on Shetland. There are short walks and day walks and, as well as specific directions, there are descriptions of historic sites with background notes, natural wonders and bird sanctuaries. There are many walks for those who want to see noteable sites, but do not want to stray too far from their car. It can be used as a companion to Walks: Orkney that has 40 walks graded for their difficulty. Highly recommended.
