Cantick Head Lighthouse is situated at the tip of the Walls peninsula overlooking Cantick Sound and the southern entrance to Scapa Flow. Designed and engineered by the Stevenson brothers David and Thomas, the active Lighthouse and former Lightkeeper's homes are grade B listed of architectural and historic interest. Restored and renovated to a high standard, the Cottages provide the modern facilities and comforts associated with 21st century living yet retain many original Victorian features.

Dramatic scenery, bird, marine and plant life in abundance and very little traffic serve to make the Island of Hoy & Walls an ideal base for walking and cycling.
Archaeology, Geology and an impressive Naval history from Vikings to World War II are all on the doorstop.
Sea angling is a common pastime from the cliffs around the Lighthouse and Trout Fishing is available at Heldale Water.
Perhaps your dream is to really get away from it all - whether beach combing for shells and driftwood or just gazing at the sea, you will rarely be disturbed.
