Wheelchair accessible things to do in Orkney


Visiting the Orkney Islands is a journey into ancient history and natural beauty. Start with Skara Brae, a Neolithic village older than Stonehenge. Next, explore the Ring of Brodgar, a mysterious stone circle surrounded by rolling green hills. Don't miss the towering presence of the Standing Stones of Stenness, another enigmatic Neolithic site.

For history buffs, the Orkney Museum offers insight into the islands' rich past. Nature lovers can wander along stunning coastal cliffs, spotting seabirds and seals. And no trip is complete without a visit to the dramatic cliffs of Yesnaby, where crashing waves meet rugged landscapes, creating a scene of unparalleled beauty.
