Sumburgh Head Lighthouse

Sumburgh Lighthouse was our first visit on a 2 week tour of Shetland and it didn't disappoint! We enjoyed it so much, we are trying to fit in a 2nd visit before we leave. Once you get up there, it is fairly flat and easy to get around. Most of the visitor centre is accessible and many of the viewing areas are too.

Unfortunately as I went out of season the Lighthouse was closed. We wandered around the grounds though and learnt about its uses through the years from the info boards. Very interesting. From looking around I'd say some parts of a tour would be inaccessible hence the 3 stars. Wheelchair accessible-ish, the paths are a little uneven, you can take your car to the top for dropping off or parking (only 3 disabled spaces up there). We walked (well I wheeled) up from the bottom car park, very smooth tarred road but very steep.

Unfortunately as I went in March, the Lighthouse was closed. However, we did see some beautiful puffins but that is all we seen -_-
