Blackstob Woods

A short detour off the A96 provides a great woodland stop

Blackstob Wood provides a 1.5 km non-waymarked path circling the wood. Additional trails cross through the middle.

There’s quick access into Findhorn, where the nearest public toilet facilities are along with shops and cafés.

Findhorn is also a good spot for seal watching as they haul out on the beach and shores of Culbin across the estuary. Please keep your distance and any dogs on a lead while seal watching to avoid disturbing them. 

Roseisle Forest with its long sandy beach, forest walks, seasonal toilets and food truck is only a 6-minute drive away.
