A visit to Kirkwall Church is beautiful & full of history the place is so calming when you enter those huge church doors. This is my 2nd visit Orkney loved it. They have quaint streets dating back to 1200's or more but with the Lidl, Tesco Co-op supermarkets you can get all you need at these stores. We went to excellent restaurant The Ayre Hotel for fish & chips seafood platter it was excellent staff were excellent very friendly we are from Catering too it was great good !! We decided to fly this time it was fantastic there in an hour Loganair excellent staff Kirkwall Airport is so cute excellent facilities for travellers lovely cafe & toilets the staff were excellent special mention to Heather in the Cafe very friendly the scenery taking off from this cute airport was amazing beautiful scenery no wonder Lorraine Kelly loves Orkney too we do too 😀😁😊☺
This is a great location to explore the East Mainland of Orkney. There are great beaches and coastal paths. We enjoyed walking along the coast from Dingieshowe beach and the spectacular Mull Head. We enjoyed visiting Sheila Fleet’s Kirk Gallery and cafe. Lovely gift ideas and delicious food. Deerness Distillery is also worth a visit as they make delicious gins.
Kirkwall caters well for its visitors with an array of quality shops selling a range of local products. The coffee shops are close by and coffee is tasty. There a lot of things to see as you wander through the town. The Cathedral dominates the town and is full of history alongside the bishops and earls house. However there is so much more to explore outwith Kirkwall if you are interested in Neolithic structures, naval warfare history or the wonderful sights of nature.
Our favourite places in Toab were the lovely sandy beaches which had an abundance of wildlife and flowers. We chose to eat at Sheila Fleet's Kirk cafe which had a choice of interesting dishes, but most importantly for us - a delicious vegan dish which we loved. The roads in Toab are easy to get around on and around every corner there are gorgeous views, little stone Orkney houses and fields of inquisitive cows! The wide open views of sea and sky are breathtaking, as are the gorgeous blues and turquoise colours that flood your senses.
My visit was very short. I went to connect with neolithic and nordic Orkney, mainly the stone circles, and with the beauty of Yesnaby. I was also blessed to be able to cross over to the Broch of Birsay. I left filled with awe and wonder. Sooo much beauty! The ring of Brodgar is magnificent. I highly recommend visiting Maeshowe. That was an unexpected treat. I did not have time to enjoy Kirkwall. I wanted to visit St. Magnus cathedral and see the Ness of Brodgar excavation findings in the museum. I didn't even have time to eat. I also wanted to visit Stromness. Next time! Orcadians are wonderful people. Incredibly friendly. Loved it all. Since I was flying in and the following day out of Kirkwall and the car rental company was also in Kirkwall it made sense to book accomodation in that town.
We went to Kirkwall mainly for the Whiskey distilleries and golf. We visited the Orkney Golf Club twice and had a great time there (special thanks to Bruce and Neill). We rented 2 bikes and took a local ferry to Shapinsay where we explored the island by bicycle, which was great as there is almost no car traffic on the island. For great food I can definitely recommend "Helgi" a great little place with local dishes and drinks. However make sure to book in advance as they only have 12 tables and were fully booked every night of the week and we were lucky to get our reservation in.
