Now here’s a stunning place to visit for you lucky people who will be going to Orkney this summer.
This is Rackwick Bay on Hoy. It is accessed via the Lyness ferry from Houton on the mainland and will captivate you, so be prepared to spend more time than planned.
Overnights are permitted on the community car park not too far away and a couple of hours walk will take you to a point overlooking the Old Man Of Hoy. The WW2 museum at Lyness has been refurbished recently and has a cafe with limited opening.
So if you want to experience a totally different type of island from the rest of Orkney put a couple of days aside for a trip to Hoy. You will not be disappointed.
Cheers
