I absolutely love walking up Tain hill, it's the most beautiful walk with different connective routs. The views across dornoch, inver, Portmohomack and nigg are outstanding.

Great place for a good mountain bike ride with a good mixture of well maintained paths and some off road paths. Very peaceful, barely saw another soul in the 4 hours I was there geocaching.

Lovely wee forest trail on a beautiful day. Would recommend. Not at all challenging, just very pleasant.. My dog really enjoyed it too.

Smashing little walk that can be extended for several miles with a map. It's a hill so not so good for those looking for an easier stroll but watch out for dog mess as it's VERY doggy! We are frequently pulling other people's dogs out of my boot!!
