    Hiking

    At 3,926 hectares, Hoy is the largest RSPB Scotland nature reserve in Orkney and is home to an impressive array of wildlife.
    Most of the reserve consists of wild heathland with patches of native forest, subalpine heath and peat. There are also impressive, colorful sea cliffs that rise more than 350 meters above the sea. They provide a dramatic backdrop where swirling seabirds and hardy wildflowers can be seen.
