The
landscape here is wild and spectacular: mountains and sea, cliffs and
waterfalls, beaches and rainbows.
On a clear night the starry skies are phenomenal, even better when we
get to see the Northern Lights. Durness is a refuge from the hustle and
bustle of everyday life; John Lennon himself holidayed here for many years.
Their youth hostel is relaxed and rustic, with a well-equipped kitchen
and a very efficient drying room. The lounge, heated by a coal-burning
stove, is cosy and peaceful.
They are also 3 minutes walk from the infamous Smoo Cave and surrounded
by many fine sandy beaches. Explore the beautiful north coast, by making
Tongue and John O’Groats youth hostels your next destinations.
