Keen of Hamar Nature Reserve
Park information
Edmondston’s chickweed – which is unique to Britain’s most northerly island – is the star attraction. Several more common plants show unusual growth forms.
Keen of Hamar is protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation.
Just off the A968, a little beyond the village of Baltasound. Signposted from this road. The reserve is a 200m walk from the car park. A daily bus service runs between Lerwick and Baltasound. Making the return journey on the same day would only allow for a very rushed visit, however. Easy walking ground.
