Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things): From Hermaness Nature Reserve there are views of the lighthouse across from the gannet colony, as well as closer along the headland. This is a fantastic location at sunset as the sky explodes with colour. In summer the sun sets just to the west of the lighthouse. You are responsible for all activities through your account.

The start point for the walk is the car park for Hermaness National Nature Reserve. New facilities were unveiled in May 2022 including a welcoming visitor hub with information points, toilets and improved car parking. The toilets are open daily from 1st May to 30th September. (Not suitable for disposal of campervan waste). From the car park, follow the path north to Winnaswarta Dale, where a new recycled plastic boardwalk leads you across the reserve to the western cliffs. The path was installed in spring 2022 and is designed to preserve the fragile blanket bog vegetation and is routed to avoid nesting birds and other wildlife. The return walk direct to Hermaness takes about three hours but can be extended south-west along the coast to Saito by ascending Neap; you should allow at least another hour for this. Minor alterations were made mainly for the convenience of the lightkeepers. Experience had shown that the high walls built for shelter caused strong whirls of wind in the courtyard and interfered with the lightkeepers look out.Depending on your walking speed and interest in the wildlife, your visit to Hermaness Nature Reserve will take at least 3 hours without stopping for photographs and spending time wildlife watching.
