Valsgarth

Scotland

Valsgarth sits on Unst, Britain's northernmost inhabited island in the Shetlands. Reaching it requires ferries from mainland Shetland via Yell, making it a proper expedition rather than a day trip. The village lies near Hermaness Nature Reserve, where gannets nest on dramatic clifftops beside Muckle Flugga lighthouse - Britain's most northerly beacon.
