St Magnus Way package FAQ

The St Magnus Way is a pilgrimage route across Orkney. The route is inspired by the life and death of St Magnus. It starts from where Orkney’s patron saint, Magnus Erlendsson was Martyred on the isle of Egilsay and finishes 58 miles later at the Saint Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall.
The walk has six sections in total with the first one taking in the isle of Egilsay which includes a ferry over from Tingwall. The five sections on The Mainland range between 10.2 miles and 12.5 miles.
As everyone has their own speed and ability, these sections do not need to be looked at as a daily target. You may want to compete half a section a day or two sections in a day…every person makes their own journey.
