Cosy family run pub right next to the iconic John O’Groats signpost, with panoramic views across the Pentland Firth and Orkney Islands. Fresh local seafood, home cooked meals, coffee, cakes and even a local beer. Inside or on the terrace – perfect for a break after your walk to Duncansby Head

Hiking

A popular tourist destination at the northernmost tip of the British mainland. There is also a ferry service to the Orkney Islands. Parking is free for ferry passengers.

There is a charge for using the toilet in the parking lot, but the gate often seems to be out of service.

Beautiful eye-catcher ... great starting point for a hike to the lighthouse and the bird cliffs
