Cape Wrath is a cape in Sutherland, Highland, in northern Scotland. In the old days, Vikings would often turn their ships for home at Cape Wrath. It is one of only two places prefixed with the name "Cape" in Great Britain, the other being Cape Cornwall in Cornwall. From the south, the only route to the Cape is on foot. The more common approach is by taking a passenger ferry from Keoldale and then walking, cycling or taking a minibus for the journey of around 11 miles to the lighthouse, which takes the visitor through a virtually uninhabited region, used by the Royal Air Force, so travel to the Cape is restricted at certain times of year. Cape Wrath is also the turning point for the Cape Wrath Marathon, which is billed as the "Toughest Marathon in the UK", due to its extremely difficult terrain. The final leg of the race is run from the ferry dock and finishes at Durness Community Centre. The marathon is held each year as the final event in a week of races and challenges billed as "The Cape Wrath Challenges".
