Travel Guide. 2nd Edition. Bradt

fjordside villages, cycle around remote valleys or watch the 300 or so
species of birds.
Despite their remote location, the Faroe Islands are easily accessible
by sea and air. Luxury ferry service operates from Scotland and Europe
and there are direct flights from Stansted, Aberdeen and Copenhagen.
