Orkney TomTom POIs (Points of Interest)
If you are a fisherman and come for the excellent FREE
Trout
Fishing on the well stocked brown trout lochs, or a
Sea Angler
coming for the varied species available from the rocky cliffs,
beach casting or fishing from the Churchill Barriers, you won't be
disappointed.
If you come for
Bird Watching
at the various RSPB reserves, Burgar Hill, Hundland and Marwick
hides are near by, or sea bird colonies on the cliffs,
or waders on the beaches or lochs, you're sure to add a personal sighting to your book.
If you like Wildlife then we have that too, though
mostly around the shores, you could see Otters,
Grey & Common Seals
or even spot Whales (Minke & Orca), Dolphins & Porpoises, or
Leatherback Turtles.
If you are the energetic or adventurous type, then
Orkney is very friendly towards the
Walker or
Cyclist, with good
roads and excellent walking routes across moor and heath, and
coastal or Cliffside paths. Divers or Climbers amongst you? then:
Dive Scapa Flow, or maybe attempt an ascent of
The Old Man of Hoy.
If you are the Artistic type, whether Painting, Sketching or
Photography then you won't be disappointed with the scenery and the
rich and varied colours produced by the
Orkney sky and hues of the
sea. Near perpetual daylight in Summer, Northern Lights (Aurora
Borealis) in the Winter.
If you bring Children with you then let them 'run wild' in the
wide open spaces, non-crowded beaches, or even our large green area
in front of the caravan. There's plenty to do for the kids,
Museums,
Farm
Museums,
Marine Aquarium,
Pony & Trap riding,
Cinema,
and don't miss
Geri's
Ice Cream Parlour.
We also have a vast selection of Children &
Family DVD's & Videos, and the Caravan has its' own PlayStation 2 and games,
and outside we have a 14ft Trampoline (with secure netting),
Paddling pool (when weather permits), and other games.
If you just come to relax, then let the magic of Orkney and the
clean fresh air revitalise you. If you like scenery and geology then
Orkney abounds in that too.
