Mull Head Wildlife Walk

The Mull Head Wildlife walk is a circular route around a local nature reserve in the East mainland of Orkney.

Our walk will include a visit to The Gloup (collapsed sea cave), views across to the Brough of Deerness and some spectacular coastal scenery.

There is a lovely variety of habitats including farmland, heath, rocky shores and cliffs which host a range of wildlife – mammals, wildflowers, insects and of course lots of birds. Breeding seabirds include Shags, Fulmars, Razorbills, Skuas, Gulls and if we are lucky we might spot some Puffins.

Bring a picnic with you, which we will enjoy with a view while watching wildlife.

“Wonderful experience with a deeply knowledgeable naturalist”

“Mull Head - having our eyes opened”

This walk is an extension of the Seabirds & Wildflowers Walk and is approx. 4 miles in length which we do at a leisurely pace, allowing time to enjoy the wildlife and views.

From £60 per adult
