Summary

Whilst the Old Man of Storr is justly famous and celebrated, only a tiny proportion of those visiting it choose to make the ascent to the dramatic summit above it. This spectacular walk leads through the iconic landscape of the Sanctuary before heading on up to the summit, giving superb views in all directions.
