Blackstob Woods

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

Blackstob Wood provides a fairly flat 1.5km, non-waymarked path circling the perimeter of the wood with other trails crossing through the middle.

Situated just outside Kinloss you have quick and easy access into Findhorn where the nearest public toilet facilities are along with shops, cafes and restaurants.

Findhorn is also 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 in one direction, and the coastal Pictish village of Burghead in the other.
