Heldon周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Once high and dry, keeping watch over the Moray Coast.

This is a great spot to stop and enjoy a range of birds very close to the hide on well-stocked bird feedersT

This section of the beach is "decorated" by numerous bunkers and concrete blocks. They once served to defend the coast during the Second World War from a feared German invasion, but today they effectively prevent the beach from being eroded by the sea, providing peaceful coastal protection.

The pine forest, planted in the 1930s, is criss-crossed by numerous hiking trails and offers wonderful relaxation. It is wonderful to walk along the beach in one direction and through the forest in the other. In stormy weather, the forest offers shelter from the wind and in the car park there are toilets (closed in winter), a playground and a food truck. It is free on foot, by bike and on horseback, but very moderate parking fees apply if you drive.

basically the whole of this area the forest is built on sand because of a big gale many years ago

Lovely singletrack despite one fallen tree across the track.

The sea is starting to eat away at the trail however its still passible with care.

well worth cycling or waking this section
