Guide to the John o' Groats Trail, a 233km walking route linking
Inverness with John o' Groats on the northeast tip of mainland
Britain. Much of the walking is coastal, with the northern half
characterised by its spectacular seacliffs; however, there is some
inland walking too, and the scenery is varied, ranging from dunes
and deserted sandy beaches to beautiful woodland. With rough ground
and some exposed clifftop walking, the route is suited to
experienced hikers. It takes around a fortnight to complete. The
route is described in 14 stages, each of which includes: an
overview map; step-by-step route description illustrated with
custom mapping; details of accommodation, facilities and transport
links; and information on local points of interest. While the main
route description is from south to north, notes are supplied for
southbound walkers. Also included is a bonus route linking the
trail with the Great Glen, for the benefit of walkers undertaking
the Land's End to John o' Groats challenge. There is a wealth of
information to help you plan for the John o' Groats Trail,
including advice on transport, weather, hazards and kit, and
background notes on geology and wildlife. This challenging route
crosses a part of the country that not many walkers are familiar
with. There are plentiful opportunities to spot wildlife and
seabirds, with grey seals, common seals and ospreys a common sight.
There are ruined medieval castles on the cliff edges, as well as
many sea arches and stacks. John o' Groats is renowned as mainland
Britain's most northeasterly village and the John o' Groats Trail
offers a chance to experience this fascinating and beautiful corner
of the country.
