Surrounding Area
Fetlar has 63 residents, and Shetland itself only has approximately 22,000 residents. The nearest town of any size is Lerwick on the main island of Shetland. To reach Lerwick, you need to take two ferry rides. The appeal of Fetlar is the seclusion; you can immerse yourself into the rural landscape and step away from society.

Juliet and Lucy would be more than happy to offer guidance to walkers who cannot choose which to walk first.
