Rackwick Hostel is located in the scenic Rackwick Valley in the north of Hoy. Camping is within the stone walls of the hostel. Price of camping includes use of facilities in the hostel.
Much of North Hoy is owned by the RSPB, where a large variety of birds live and breed. Off the west coast of the reserve towers The Old Man of Hoy, a 137m sea stack and is, perhaps, Orkney's most famous landmark and a great place to see puffins.
Local wild flowers and bird life make this a must for naturalists to visit. The remainder of the island is a fascinating variety of hills, dramatic coastal scenery and low-lying fertile land.
Please note the nearest shop is 25 miles away so please bring provisions for your stay.
