About

Kitchener Memorial in Orkney stands on Mainland, the largest island in the group, where the memorial is a well-known stopping point for visitors touring the archipelago.

Its position on Mainland places it within reach of Kirkwall, Stromness, St Margaret's Hope and Finstown, so it fits naturally into a day of sightseeing across the island. A rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 172 reviews reflects how consistently visitors respond to it. Orkney life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer.

The memorial is listed at https://www.britainexpress.com/attractions.htm?attraction=2162, where further background on the site can be read before travelling. Mainland's road network links the main settlements, and a visit here pairs well with time in Kirkwall or Stromness.

Puffins, guillemots, razorbills and Manx shearwaters breed on British island cliffs and offshore islets, so a pair of binoculars rewards a coastal walk. Strong tides surround British islands, and the waters around Orkney demand care. Hoy, South Ronaldsay and Westray lie within the wider archipelago for those extending their stay.
