Ward of Bressay and Kirkabister Ness, Isle of Bressay
Just a short ferry hop away from busy Lerwick, the Isle of Bressay is a world apart. This circular walk follows tracks up to the island's summit - the Ward of Bressay - for its superb views. The circuit continues with a rough and boggy moorland traverse before descending with views to the spectacular arch below the lighthouse at Kirkabister Ness.
Terrain
Minor roads and tracks to the summit, then pathless, peat-hagged moorland. Better going above the coastal cliffs and then minor roads once more.
Public Transport
The Bressay terminal is served by regular ferries from Lerwick.
Start
Bressay ferry terminal.
