FAMILY BREAKS
Wick’s harbour, river and heritage centre support a real town day without a long north-coast drive.
QUIET BREAKS
Choose a coastal excursion only when conditions and transport suit it; the town’s Pulteneytown history remains a useful alternative.

Spend the first evening by the river, explore the fishing history around Bank Row and the harbour, then leave time for departure.
Walk the river and harbour to understand Wick’s two sides.
Visit Wick Heritage Centre when open, then make a separate coastal outing chosen for current weather and transport.
Take a final Pulteneytown or town-centre stroll before continuing through Caithness.
Less time? For one night, concentrate on the harbour, river and heritage centre rather than claiming a far-north road trip fits easily.
