The Kirkwall Hotel sits at the heart of Orkney's enchanting landscape, offering a plethora of activities and walks right on its doorstep. Stroll along the historic streets of Kirkwall, exploring ancient sites like the magnificent St. Magnus Cathedral. The nearby Orkney coastline presents an array of serene beaches, perfect for leisurely walks. A popular walk for dog owners is the Crantit trail which is just outside Kirkwall and close to Scapa beach - a bracing walk leading directly to the beach. Also visit the wide sandy beach at Skaill. You can even take a ferry from the mainland to Orkney.
