Europe > Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands or Faeroe Islands or simply Faroes or Faeroes (Faroese: Føroyar, meaning "Sheep Islands", Danish: Færøerne) are a group of islands in Northern Europe, between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, about halfway from Iceland to Norway. They have been an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948. The Faroese have, over the years, taken control of most matters except defence (though they have a native coast guard), foreign affairs and the legal system which are the responsibility of Denmark.

Walking & Hiking Holidays
We are pleased to be one of the first companies to have recognised the potential for exciting walking holidays in the Faroes. On our visit, we were impressed by the wild scenery, the prolific bird life and how little commercialisation there is in these islands.
