Road cycling
The Rackwick youth hostel managed by Hostelling Scotland is just up the road for a scenic stop.
This is also the place to leave your bike and walk in to view the Old Man of Hoy, a very famous 137m high sea stack. It's well signed but about an hour and a half’s walk so plan this in advance and bring some walking kit.
