Winding Walks / Deer Park

The woods between Fochabers and Tynet are a useful source for walks. These woods give you many options. You can choose short walks or long walks with various paths and the possibility of seeing some of the "attractions" that are present within the forests.

I think that I have walked maybe 95% of the paths within both Winding Walks and Deer Park. Personally these woods have been very useful as I have learnt some important skills within them.

 

 

The "Winding" walk is made from a maze of tracks through a deep but amazing gully within the forest. I found this quite a fun path to follow.

The other main paths that are marked in the forest take you up and down the hillside woodland, to a pond and also to a monument for the Duchess of Richmond, from this monument you can see over the countryside.

 

The paths within Deer Park lead to Swiss Cottage, a slightly strange red wooden "house" and also to Tynet Chapel. As with Winding Walks there are numerous routes though the forest.

 

I usually follow my own routes thought the forests either preplanned or worked out as I go along using a map and compass.

E.g.      Fochabers - Gorden Estate - thought Deer Park - Tynet - back to Fochabers (Circular about 7.5miles)

 

 

Below are some pictures that I have taken on different walks in the Winding Walks.
