ストローマ島のおすすめランニングルート

This is a pretty commercialised spot, but for a good reason. The end or start point of many a biking and hiking adventure. Ours took 12 days, south to north, and I was pretty glad to see this signpost.

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

Beautiful photo opportunity... best taken from the beach with a view of the cliffs and lighthouse

Housed in the iconic “Last House” near the famous signpost, this small brewery brews characterful ales using pure northern water. Visitors can sample, buy bottles or simply enjoy the sea views with a local beer in hand. Open daily from 11am to 4pm

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

Situated at the iconic end of the British mainland, this information point has everything you need: maps, local tips, souvenirs and information on walks, accommodation and transport. Open from Easter to October. Ideal place to plan your route or catch your breath before heading on to Duncansby Head or the ferry to Orkney.

At Shell Beach you have your first view of the lighthouse; Shell Beach: a small, secluded bay along the coastal path between John O’Groats and Duncansby Head. This sandy cove with shells and rocks offers peace, views of seals and a unique opportunity to descend to sea level. Only accessible on foot via a rugged but beautiful cliff path – a real reward for walkers who love silence and nature.

A rugged, windswept peninsula to the east of John O’Groats, with spectacular views across the North Sea and the Pentland Firth. Walk past cliffs, grasslands and seabird colonies towards the iconic Duncansby Stacks. A short but impressive walk full of natural power and silence – perfect for those who want to feel the real north.
