Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Northmaven?
The best area to stay in Northmaven is Hillswick, located on the west side of Northmavine.

Hillswick is a scenic village known for its dramatic coastal views and its position as a gateway to some of Northmavine's most striking natural attractions. It's a relatively compact area, with accommodations often offering views of the sea or surrounding hills. The village provides a tranquil base for exploring the wild beauty of the Shetland Islands.

Couples seeking a peaceful retreat and access to stunning natural landscapes will find Hillswick ideal. From here, you can easily access attractions like the Eshaness Cliffs, known for their towering sea stacks and blowholes, and the iconic Tangwick Haa Museum, offering a glimpse into local history.
When is the best time to go to Northmaven?
The best time to visit Northmaven is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.

During this period, temperatures are generally between 10°C and 15°C, making it pleasant for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the dramatic coastline. You'll experience nearly continuous daylight, sometimes referred to as the "simmer dim," which allows for extended sightseeing into the late evening. This is ideal for those looking to maximize their time outdoors and witness the unique natural beauty of the Shetland Islands.

Travelers interested in wildlife, particularly birdwatching, will find late spring and early summer (May to July) especially rewarding. This is when many seabirds, including puffins, gannets, and kittiwakes, return to the cliffs to breed. The Hermaness National Nature Reserve on Unst, a short ferry ride from Northmaven, is a prime location for observing these spectacular colonies.

For those who prefer a quieter experience and want to avoid the peak tourist season, the shoulder months of May and September can also be good options.
