Old Man of Storr is the most famous walk on Skye, and the busiest. It is part of the Trotternish landslip which runs for 30 km along the peninsula and has been declared a Special Area of Conservation. The pinnacles of rock can be seen for miles and are popular with landscape photographers. The path to the top is well laid out, with steps in the grass and stretches of gravel path. It can get muddy at the top but is a walk that is suitable for all weathers. It is 3.8 km long and takes about an hour of walking. It is classified as medium length and medium difficulty.
