The Faroe Islands or Faeroe Islands or simply Faroe(s) or Faeroes meaning "Sheep Islands" are a group of islands in Northern Europe, between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. The Faroe Islands are an island group consisting of eighteen islands off the coast of Northern Europe, between the Norwegian Sea and the north Atlantic Ocean, about halfway between Iceland and Norway; the closest neighbours being the Northern and Western Isles of Scotland.
The islands (reached by air from Stansted, Denmark and Iceland or by ferry from Iceland, Denmark, Norway, the Shetlands or Scrabster in Scotland) consist of rugged green mountains fjords and countless waterfalls. Other attractions include medieval churches, fishing villages, old farmhouses and sheep. The breeding sea birds are outstanding.
