Visitors at Stenness Standing Stones

Join the Rangers for a walk around one of the oldest stone circles and the nearby Neolthic settlement of Barnhouse.

Find out about the close connection of both these sites and their part in the story of Neolithic life in Orkney and beyond.

These walks are dog-friendly. Please keep your dog on a lead throughout.
