Location & area

Cantick Head Lighthouse & Cottages are situated at the tip of the South Walls peninsula attached to the Orkney Island of Hoy overlooking Cantick Sound and the southern entrance to Scapa Flow in the Pentland Firth.
Private and secluded within an acre of walled grounds and over a mile from its nearest neighbour, Cantick Head Lighthouse Cottages provide peace and tranquillity occasionally interrupted by the sound of the sea and calling of the birds. Dramatic scenery, bird, marine and plant life in abundance, mild climate and very little traffic serve to make the Islands of Hoy & South Walls an ideal base for walking and cycling. Archaeology, Geology and an impressive Naval history from the Vikings to World War II are all on the doorstep. Porpoise, Seals and Whales are frequent visitors to Cantick Sound; Dolphins, Orcas, Minke & Pilot whales have been sighted on several occasions since 2003. Sea angling is a common pastime from the cliffs around the Lighthouse and Trout fishing is available at Heldale Water, licenses or permits are not required; off shore angling and wildlife cruises are available locally.
