Portknockie Harbour

Highlight • Structure

Portknockie is undoubtedly most famous for the staggering natural architecture of Bow Fiddle Rock. However, the entire coastline around the village is sumptuously rugged, with rocky coves and jagged skerries braving the assault of the churning tides. It is also a prime location for spotting the Moray bottlenose dolphins.

Moray Coastal Cycle Route

Highlight (Segment) • Beach

This is a easy to pedal long distance coastal path taking in the fishing village dotted along Morayshire's coastline. The terrain unlike the Highlands is mainly agricultural with a rolling landscape. There are many local attractions along the way. Cullen has a fab beach plus a really nice cafe, Buckie has the Bijou Cafe to forget Spey Bay where the Scottish Dolphin Centre is located.Stop at any of the local villages & try the fish and chips (you won't be disappointed). For Mountain Bikers, there's the Moray Monster Trails at Fochabers. There's a great selection of Trails from gentle to proper Gnarly! The biggest attraction of this route are the vast far reaching sea views, where you can spot, Dolphins, Basking Sharks, Seals including a vast array of seabirds including Osprey!
