Blackstob Woods

Where we are

About

A short detour off the A96 corridor provides the perfect quiet stopping point when visiting the coastal areas of Moray.

Blackstob Wood provides lovely flat paths to stretch your legs around. 

Nearby Findhorn is a good spot for seal watching as they haul out on the beach and shores of Culbin across the estuary. Roseisle Forest with it’s long sandy beach, forest walks, seasonal toilets and food truck is only a 6 minute drive away and in under 10 minutes you can reach the town of Forres, and the coastal Pictish village of Burghead.
