Durness is the most north westerly village on the British mainland and a great stopover point if you're cycle touring. The scenery is spectacular, with a rocky coastline dotted with coves and pristine, sandy beaches.
As well as plenty of B&B accommodation there's also a youth hostel and a Spar Shop to stock up on essentials.

An opportunity for a rest and some hot food from the caravan site. Great place to watch the sun rise.
