A beautiful place with a goosebumps story

This is a beautiful spot overlooking Widewall Bay toward Hoxa Head. There are the remains of an anti-aircraft battery to explore, as well as Herston Head, which involves a 10-minute push or walk around the western edge of this headland, where you can enjoy excellent views toward Hoy.

Here you can enjoy great views over the well-known Churchill Barriers. The barriers were built in 1945 and act as a causeway connecting the Orkney mainland with the isles of Lamb Holm, Glimps Holm, Burray and South Ronaldsay.

Burwick Pier is located on the southernmost tip of South Ronaldsay island. It's the Orkney landing point for passengers and cyclists on the John O'Groats Ferry. Ferries run daily, and you can find the times on the site... jogferry.co.uk/Ferry.aspx

The Churchill Barriers were built between Mainland & the islands of South Ronaldsay to protect the important navel harbour of Scapa Flow. Block ships were originally used and the sunken remains of some of these are still visible. Nowadays the causeway forms a great road to ride between the islands with nice views and easy access to some stunning beaches.

At 87m it's not the highest point on South Ronaldsay but it does give great views all around from the entrance to Scapa Flow in the west, south towards John O'Groats and mainland Scotland, east across the island and out to sea and north over the Churchill Barriers which link this island to Burray and Mainland. It's on the road but it's quiet so it's a great spot to stop and have a break.
