点评:We spent two nights on the island; we had a car with us and stayed at the Pierowall Hotel. Did the return trip on the ferry from Kirkwall (if you are coming with a vehicle make sure you book in advance).
We’d wanted to visit Westray for some time and we weren’t disappointed. This is a lovely place with plenty of things to see and do. Spectacular cliffs with lots of bird life, including puffins. A Heritage Centre, a castle, a golf course (with the longest hole in the UK), an art gallery, 3 shops, a hotel, one or two nice cafes and plenty of wonderful walks.
There’s also the chance to visit Papa Westray either by ferry on on the shortest commercial flight in the world.
Being an hour and a half from Kirkwall (by ferry) the island has a high degree of self-sufficiency which is evident even on a two day visit.
翻译:我们在岛上住了两晚;我们自驾前往,住在皮罗沃尔酒店 (Pierowall Hotel)。回程是从柯克沃尔 (Kirkwall) 乘渡轮(如果您也开车前往,请务必提前预订)。
我们一直想去韦斯特雷岛 (Westray),果然不虚此行。这里风景优美,有很多值得一看和体验的地方。壮观的悬崖上栖息着各种鸟类,包括海鹦。岛上还有遗产中心、城堡、高尔夫球场(拥有英国最长的球洞)、美术馆、三家商店、一家酒店、一两家不错的咖啡馆以及许多绝佳的徒步路线。
您还可以选择乘渡轮或搭乘世界上最短的商业航班前往帕帕韦斯特雷岛 (Papa Westray)。
韦斯特雷岛距离柯克沃尔仅一个半小时的渡轮航程,岛上的自给自足程度很高,即使是两天的行程也能感受到这一点。
