Norðoyri (in danish Nordøre, or Oyri by the locals) is a village in the Faroe Islands on the northern island of Borðoy. It belongs to the municipality of Klaksvík. Norðoyri has an elongated settlement character and is sited along the eastern shore of the fjord Borðoyarvík that opens up in a SE direction. The lengthy 'infield'[1] lines the shore. The 'outfield'[2] covers the SE half of the peninsula between Borðoyarvík and Árnafjørður. It descends rather steeply from the central mountain-ridge, 400 to 563 m high, and specially in the SE part there are steep slopes and this outfield is generally regarded as difficult to tend and dangerous, as many sheep are lost there in severe winters.
