Westray & Papa Westray are proud to have been certificated as Fairtrade Islands.
Look for this mark on Fairtrade Products.
Westray and Papa Westray offer you the opportunity to enjoy a proper family holiday where all the family can enjoy time together.
To be sure there aren’t any big dippers here, nor rows of amusement arcades. Instead, we have empty beaches and friendly people providing a holiday where you don’t have to panic every time a child disappears from view.
Bring your young family to Westray and Papa Westray, roll back the clock and remember what it was like to enjoy mini adventures, collecting shells
on the beach, poking around in rock pools for small fish, crabs, and other interesting “creepy crawlies”, or just sit back and relax on a beach all of your own (it is not uncommon to find that there’s no-one else there) and let the kids build sand castles.
Introduce your children to the natural world by doing bit of nature watching. There is a wide variety of
bird life to observe, Puffins are always popular from late April to late July, or take a walk on the beach and watch the seals as they swim along watching you.
Keep an eye on the sea and you may even be lucky enough to spot a whale.
Westray also has an excellent play area and sports field next to the school in Pierowall.
The school also has a swimming pool open to the public.
Westray is also home of the only Faerie Museum inthe UK. Why not take the kids to the see the faeries and make a wish. There is also story telling on certain days. See their web site for more details at www.orkneyfaeriemuseum.com
