Culbin's 14-km long forest and ever-changing coastline offer a huge variety of natural features to explore and discover.
First time visitors can enjoy a great circular walk: the fully accessible Hill 99 viewpoint trail meanders through the quiet pine forest to a 'squirrel's eye viewpoint in the tree tops. Or, for just a short, gentle stroll, well surfaced paths lead you to the Gravel Pit ponds, in easy reach of Wellhill.
