Overview
Head North through peat and heather covered landscape to the picturesque community of Voe, with its Scandinavian influence.
Onwards through Brae and crossing Mavis Grind where the North Sea almost meets the Atlantic Ocean. Northwards still, the scenery becoming more spectacular with every mile, viewing some of Shetland’s aquaculture industry.
We will have morning coffee at Braewick Cafe (included), where we can enjoy the beautiful views of the area.
Stop for a photo of the Drongs, a group of spectacular sea stacks and continue to the Eshaness Lighthouse where fire and ice of volcano and glacier have forged Shetland`s world famous geology. Have some time to take photos and explore the area.
Afterwards, we will visit the Tangwick Haa museum (Hall – a former Laird’s house) and view their exhibits on local history, some of the first examples of Shetland knitwear and geology.
We then make our way to the Ollaberry Hall, for lunch (included). After lunch, you can try spinning, knit and chat with local knitters and view the wonderful range of exhibits. There are also some items available for sale.
