テンツミュア国立自然保護区周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ6

A useful information point and shelter in the forest

The Ice House was built in 1852 and was used to store locally caught salmon. To provide insulation, layers of heather and straw were packed around the ice, creating a rather ingenious deep freeze.

Tentsmuir Sands is a beautiful beach in itself, but there is also history here. During World War 2, Polish soldiers built a system of defences, a part of a larger plan to defend Britain from enemy invasion. Here, you will find a WW2 observation tower as well as a target wagon. This would carry moving targets along a track and was used for target practice.

Gravel paths from Tayport blocked by trees fallen after storm Arwen. Limited access by bicycle. Easier on foot

Numerous traffic free roads and off shoots to explore.

Ice taken from local ponds in winter was packed round fish stored in here to help preserve them for onward travel.

Tentsmuir is a very special place. Within a relatively small area, there is a beautiful golden beach with clean sea, a majestic forest with lots of trails to explore, and a nature reserve that is home to lots of wildlife including seals and many species of birds, as well as spectacular wildflower displays during spring and summer.

Beautiful forest area right beside the sea, with paved road and gravel track running right through.
