📍 Itinerary

🏛️ Standing Stones of Stenness

Begin your journey at one of the oldest stone circles in Britain. Dating back over 5,000 years, these towering monoliths stand as silent witnesses to Orkney’s prehistoric rituals and beliefs.

🌀 Ring of Brodgar

Next, visit the breathtaking Ring of Brodgar — a vast circle of standing stones set between two lochs. Part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s a place of mystery, majesty, and panoramic views.

🏠 Skara Brae

Travel to the west coast to explore Skara Brae, Europe’s best-preserved Neolithic village. Wander among stone homes that pre-date the pyramids, and gain insight into the daily life of Orkney’s earliest farmers.

🌊 Yesnaby Cliffs

Take a scenic detour to the dramatic sea cliffs of Yesnaby. This rugged stretch of Atlantic coastline offers stunning views, sea stacks, and the raw beauty of Orkney’s wild side.

⛪ The Italian Chapel

Visit this remarkable WWII chapel built by Italian prisoners of war. Crafted from humble materials with extraordinary care, it’s a touching symbol of faith, resilience, and artistry.

🛍️ Kirkwall – Shops & St. Magnus Cathedral (Optional)

Finish the tour back in Kirkwall, where you can enjoy free time to browse local shops for food, crafts, or souvenirs. You may also visit St. Magnus Cathedral, Orkney’s iconic medieval landmark.
