The Yesnaby Coastal Walk has to be one of the best walks on mainland Orkney, if not the best. With incredible sea stacks and rock arches, rugged cliffs alive with seabirds and stunning coastal views, it’s an Orkney must do. We’re sharing directions, trail conditions and all the logistics for the short or long version of the walk.

The scenes from the cliff tops at Marwick Head look like something from a National Geographic documentary and we weren’t even there in peak season for wildlife! We’re sharing directions, trail conditions and when to see the most birdlife.
