Mull Head, Deerness
Mull Head is the furthest point of Deerness and offers one of the finest coastal circuits on Mainland Orkney. The route has a dramatic gloup, impressive cliffs and geos as well wonderful sea views - but the highlight is the narrow path leading out onto the Brough of Deerness (currently closed due to landslip, summer 2021). The walk can be extended by linking with the Covenanters' Memorial route.
