Alder Lodge

Coastal Walk

Traces the dramatic Shetland coastline with moderate inclines over grassy clifftops and occasional rocky sections. Suitable for older children with good stamina, but uneven ground and cliff edges make it unsuitable for buggies and require close supervision. Dogs welcome on leads near cliff drops and livestock. Rewards you with spectacular sea views, seabird colonies, and often seals or porpoises offshore—classic Shetland scenery at its wildest.

Clickimin

Circles the historic Clickimin Broch and loch in Shetland's main town of Lerwick, offering flat, paved paths perfect for buggies and young families. Dogs welcome on leads. The well-preserved Iron Age broch tower makes this a fascinating short stroll combining easy walking with 2,000 years of island history, ideal for stretching legs between ferry connections or exploring Shetland's archaeological heritage without venturing far from amenities.

Clickimin Loch

Loops around a scenic loch on the edge of Lerwick with flat, well-maintained paths suitable for buggies and families with toddlers. Dogs welcome and often seen enjoying the waterside trail. Expect to spot wildlife including ducks, swans and occasional otters, while taking in views across the water to the ancient Clickimin Broch ruins. Ideal for a gentle leg-stretch with historical interest, especially after long ferry journeys to Shetland.
