Cunningsburgh Circular

Loops around the Shetland village of Cunningsburgh with gentle undulations and some short steeper sections on minor roads and coastal paths. Suitable for older children who can manage a few miles, but terrain and gates make buggies impractical. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards you with sweeping views across Cunningsburgh Voe and out to the North Sea, plus a taste of authentic Shetland crofting landscape away from the tourist trail.

Aithsetter woodland

Meanders through peaceful woodland near Aithsetter in Shetland, offering sheltered walking on mostly flat to gentle terrain with well-defined paths. Ideal for families with young children and generally suitable for sturdy all-terrain buggies, though expect some uneven ground and tree roots. Dogs welcome to explore off-lead in quieter sections. Worth visiting for native birch and willow canopy, glimpses of local birdlife, and a tranquil escape from Shetland's often windswept landscapes.

Leebitton to Cunningsburgh

Follows quiet country roads and tracks between two Shetland villages, with gentle rolling terrain and occasional moderate climbs. Suitable for families with older children who can handle 5+ miles, but narrow verges make it less ideal for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers classic Shetland scenery—open moorland, stone walls, and coastal glimpses—connecting two communities with authentic island character away from tourist trails.

Fladdabister Old Road

Traces an old historical track through Shetland's windswept moorland with gentle to moderate gradients. Suitable for older children with stamina, but rough, uneven ground makes it unsuitable for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads due to grazing sheep. Worth doing for the sense of stepping back in time on this traditional Shetland path, plus wide-open views across peatland and coastal vistas typical of the islands.

3.34 km from campsite

Mosquito Memorial Trail

Traces a gentle, mostly flat coastal path honouring WWII aviation history near Sumburgh, Shetland. Suitable for families and buggies in fair weather, though exposed sections can be windswept. Dogs welcome on leads. The route passes aircraft crash memorial sites with interpretation panels, combining wartime heritage with sweeping views across dramatic coastal scenery – a poignant walk with historical significance that's manageable for most fitness levels.
