Tourism Trade & Group Visits

Authentic farm and craft experiences at West Lynne — where creativity, heritage, and rural life meet.

Welcome to Paparwark

At West Lynne Farm, we open our doors to visitors who want more than a tour — they want an experience. Paparwark is a place where craftsmanship is lived, not just shown; where the rhythm of the farm, the scent of timber, and the warmth of shared creativity come together.

This page is designed for the tourism trade: tour operators, travel agents, and groups seeking meaningful, hands‑on experiences rooted in Shetland’s landscape and traditions.
