A moor lake directly on the hiking trail.

A short detour leads from the trail up to the highest point with beautiful views over the heath and moor landscape.

A beautiful little sandy bay. The coastal path goes above it or you can descend into the bay.

Here you can find the ruins of the old church of Forvie. The village was buried by a shifting dune in the 16th century.

Forvie National Nature Reserve is a treasure located north of Newburgh in Aberdeenshire, in the northeast of Scotland. Owned and managed by NatureScot, the reserve is one of Scotland’s most dramatic stretches of coast3. It covers almost 1,000 hectares of sand dunes and dune heath between the North Sea and the estuary of the River Ythan1. The Sands of Forvie, which are the fifth largest sand dune system in Britain, dominate the southern end of the reserve. These sands are the least disturbed by human activity in the country.

The church stands within 300 yards of the shore and was built at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It accommodates 654 persons with sittings. The church records contain a variety of documents which detail many aspects of the daily lives of all types of people throughout Scotland from the 16th century onwards.
