Churchill Barriers
The Churchill Barriers are a series of historic causeways linking several of Orkney’s islands.

The Italian Chapel
The Italian Chapel is one of Orkney’s most remarkable and moving historic sites. Built during the Second World War by Italian prisoners of war stationed on the islands, the chapel was created from two Nissen huts and beautifully decorated by the prisoners themselves. Despite its humble materials, the interior is richly detailed and full of character, standing today as a powerful symbol of creativity, resilience, and hope.

Visitors can walk around the towering standing stones while taking in the wide open landscape and reflecting on the mystery and significance of this remarkable site built by Neolithic communities thousands of years ago.
