Cycling Orkney

Extract:
'On a bike, you have the freedom of on - and off-road access to Orkney's magnificent heritage and landscape. Use the main routes or devise your own, enjoying the many quiet byways around the parishes.

'Mainland Orkney offers pleasant, moderate cycling, and the pace of life and traffic in the smaller isles is even slower than on Mainland Orkney. Use this guide to help you get the most out of your holiday. Whether you are a serious sporting cyclist or a casual rider, you have the satisfaction of knowing that a warm welcome awaits you, and that your travels will bring you into contact with Orkney's history, people, and culture.'
