    Hiking

    A popular tourist destination at the northernmost tip of the British mainland. There is also a ferry service to the Orkney Islands. Parking is free for ferry passengers.

    There is a charge for using the toilet in the parking lot, but the gate often seems to be out of service.

    Hiking

    Situated at the iconic end of the British mainland, this information point has everything you need: maps, local tips, souvenirs and information on walks, accommodation and transport. Open from Easter to October. Ideal place to plan your route or catch your breath before heading on to Duncansby Head or the ferry to Orkney.
