Old Man of Hoy Trail

Old Man of Hoy Trail is a 4.6 km Local Hiking hiking trail covering an interesting stretch of countryside.

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. Follow the RW 50 waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
