Scapa Flow is one of Britain's most historic stretches of water - located within the Orkney Islands, off the northeast coast of Scotland. It's sheltered waters have been used by ships since prehistory and it has played an important role in travel, trade and conflict throughout the centuries - especially during both World Wars.

This Website is an invitation to explore its many facets - whether it be discovering Britain's wartime heritage, participating in wreck diving, or admiring the area's outstanding scenery and wildlife. It was originally produced under Orkney’s Education Business Partnership, with pupils from North Walls Community School on the island of Hoy, and David Griffith of Orknet.  This site is now maintained by North Walls Community School..
