Clickimin Leisure Centre

About

Clickimin Leisure Centre, a local business on Shetland, is a sports centre at N Lochside in Lerwick, the islands' main town. Lerwick sits on the east coast, and the centre's position there places it within easy reach of Scalloway, Brae and the ferry terminals for Yell, Unst, Whalsay and Bressay. The building operates as a sports centre, giving residents and visitors a fixed address for indoor activity in the town.

Its reputation rests on that role, and a 4.5 out of 5 average drawn from 353 reviews makes it one of the most reviewed sports centres in the islands. Lerwick is the natural hub for travel between the outlying communities, so anyone arriving from Scalloway or the northern isles passes through the town where the centre stands. The website at http://www.srt.org.uk/clickimin carries the centre's own information for anyone planning a visit.

Five photographs are attached to the listing, showing the site before a first trip. Opening times and admission charges are set by the centre itself, with the website as the reference point for current arrangements.

Shetland life revolves around harbours and lifeboat stations, and summer brings regattas and fetes that draw people into the towns. Island shops and harbourside cafés sell smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread, foods that suit the changeable weather. Rain falls throughout the year on British islands, and Atlantic gales are common in autumn and winter, so a waterproof layer earns its place in any bag. The coastline ranges from low sandstone to rugged sea cliffs cut by glacial erosion, and the road network keeps Lerwick connected to the rest of Shetland.
