Explore the Orkney Islands while staying in Asgard Bed & Breakfast
The Orkney Islands have a wealth of history and beauty, in swan filled lochs, spectacular sunsets over the sea, and landscapes populated by ancient stones. The islands contain more to see per square mile than any other place in Britain - and simply touring the mainland alone could take a week. Visit the neolithic village of Skara Brae, the ancient stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar. Ask us about tidal times to visit the tidal island of the Brough of Birsay - or travel to the south isles, crossing the Churchill Barriers and see the Italian Chapel, built during World War 2 by Italian prisoners of war.There are 12 other islands to visit - from Westray, the Queen of the Isles, to North Ronaldsay, with it's sheep dyke and seals. Most make great excursions for a day - giving you an opportunity to taste the many flavours of Orkney! We would recommend the beautiful island of Hoy - the ferry to the island is a mere seven minute walk from the doorstep of Asgard.
