Old Man of Hoy Trail

A 4.6 km Local Hiking trail, Old Man of Hoy Trail takes walkers through a varied section of terrain.

A compact 4.6 km route ideal for a relaxed morning out. At an easy pace, plan for about 1 hour and 1 minutes.

This route forms a near-complete loop: the start and finish are very close together, so only minimal transport is needed to get back. It combines the convenience of a circular walk with a slightly varied return. Look for the RW 50 trail markings to stay on the official route.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
