Forres, Findhorn and the Surrounding Area
Findhorn is just 5 miles (8km) from
Forres and is a very special hidden
gem. A mini harbour, an old fishing
town, a myriad of grassy alley ways
between the historic houses.
Perhaps best known for the Findhorn
Foundation, a spiritual community,
ecovillage and an international centre
for holistic education.
Forres is a delightful little town alive
with small shops and with 2 distilleries
right on the doorstop. The sandy open
beaches of Findhorn and Roseisle are
close by and the Cairngorm mountains
are about 45 minutes drive. Forres is a
Royal Burgh and has some wonderful
gardens and parks. Highlights include
the annual Forres Theme Day, a
vintage car rally that attracts hundreds
of cars and visitors.
Moray is the forgotten county,
sandwiched between the busy oil and
gas hub of Aberdeen and Inverness,
the gateway to the Highlands and
Islands of Scotland. And therein lies its
beauty and attraction. Quiet, unspoilt
and beautiful. Definitely a place to stop,
relax and explore.

For the outdoor family, Forres is an ideal place to explore sandy beaches, rugged coastline, infinite
walks along the many rivers and through the woods and forests. 45 minutes down the road at
Aviemore and you are in the heart of the Cairngorm Mountains with all they have to offer.
Midway is a small village called Carrbridge where Landmark Park provides a great family day out.
