Orkney is Scotland's best-kept secret: a supreme outdoor
destination that is more accessible than you expect, by ferry or
plane. It offers world-class prehistory, approachable wildlife and
welcoming Orcadian hospitality. This pilgrimage walk celebrates
Orkney's patron saint, Magnus, some 900 years after his martyrdom.
The 60-mile St Magnus Way has it all: manageable daily distances,
stunning coastal vistas, unique wildlife, tidal islands, historic
interest and great variety of terrain. It starts from the site of
Magnus' martyrdom on Egilsay and culminates at his cathedral in
Orkney's capital Kirkwall. For cyclists, the 67-mile (108 km) St
Magnus Cycleway visits the same places as the Way. However it runs
almost wholly on tarmac and is readily split into two circuits of
27 and 40 miles respectively (44 km and 64 km respectively). This
essential trail guide contains all you need to plan your visit on
foot or bike: Foreword by Magnus Linklater biography of St Magnus
and his cathedral planning info for travel by car, ferry and plane
richly illustrated sections on history, geology and wildlife visit
info for museums, distilleries and the World Heritage Site concise
step-by-step directions 14 pages with route mapping at 1:30,000 in
full colour, with 101 photos.
