Hiking

Trig-baggers will want to get this one! Dunnet Head is home to the most northerly trig point of Britain's mainland and is the Northern-most point beating John O Groats by some miles. Don't miss the path that gives up to a 360 degrees viewpoint of the whole area

Cycling

Great detour to the actual most northerly point of Britain's mainland (beating John O Groats by 11 miles!). Once you reach the car park of Dunnet Head, go leftwards to see the lighthouse and cliff but don't miss the right hand path that goes up to a 360 degrees viewpoint of the whole area
