On foot
Local walks
The routes worth knowing — from a flat riverside hour to the glen behind the town.
The Bow Fiddle Rock
A short clifftop walk from the village to the famous sea arch — at its best early, when the light comes round behind it and the gannets are out.
Portknockie to Cullen
The coast path west above the bays to Cullen, dropping down to the sands beneath the railway viaducts.
By the water
Beaches & coast
Where the firth meets the sand — and the dolphins put on a show.
The harbour & Bow Fiddle
The old harbour below the village and the sea arch around the headland — sheltered water and rock ledges for a calm-day swim.
Cullen Bay sands
A short walk west brings you to the long sands of Cullen Bay under the viaducts.
