    Great bucket-list location as the most northerly point on UK’s Cycle Route 1

      October 10, 2022

      The UK's most northerly beach at the end of the road at Skaw is a great target and peaceful spot for a stop. Keep an eye out for seals here.
      A Russian trawler shipwrecked itself here causing speculation that the crew were spies.
