I went on the 7 day Birds and Archaeology tour in June - absolutely perfect. It was my first trip to the Orkneys. My main goal was to see puffins - but that was just one of the dozens of highlights of the trip. Steve Sankey our leader was so knowledgeable of birds, Orcadian history, and the wild flowers which were just beginning to flower. I can't imagine a better way to see the Orkneys. We saw so many bird and archaeology sites - we couldn't have seen so much in a week without his expertise. Our group was 4 women who met for the first time - and we'll be friends for life.

What a lovely, serene & tranquil wooded area in the heart of Orkney. You can miss the entrance to the car park as not sign posted & car park is small so park with consideration. Lovely sign boards have been placed to advise of the story. Follow the clear paths through a mixed woodland (unique in Orkney) & along the tranquil stream with waterfalls & arches. Take time to stop, look & listen at the Stone benches & seats then follow the paths out at either end to work through shrub & grassland. It's amazing to visit in spring early summer when the woodland floor is carpeted in flowers
