North Mainland Shore Excursion

Heading to the north of mainland Shetland, this tour will take in some of the island's most spectacular coastline. We will visit Eshaness, an area home to a volcanic landscape dating back 400 million years with high cliffs, sea stacks, caves, bore holes and holms teeming with seabirds. This tour is very special to me as my Father was born here and this is where I spent many days with my Grandparents coastal walking and Whale Watching. The remoteness and Geology takes your breath away. After this we'll head back to Shetland's main town of Lerwick, where we will spend a short time visiting the picturesque area of south Commercial street and the "Lodberries". These buildings date back to the 17th century and have their foundations built in the sea. Short tour consists of easy walking over short distances with an optional 10 minute cliff walk.
