John O'Groats Trail (Berriedale to Dunbeath)

Follows the dramatic Caithness coastline with moderate climbs through rolling moorland and clifftop sections. Terrain alternates between grassy paths and rocky stretches – not suitable for buggies and challenging for young children due to length and uneven ground. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near cliff edges and livestock. Rewards walkers with stunning North Sea views, hidden coves, and glimpses of seabirds nesting on rugged coastal cliffs between these two historic fishing villages.
