Camore
Although Camore Wood only lies two miles from Dornoch it feels like it could be a million miles away. The trees and the plant life give this wood the atmosphere of a native pinewood. Camore Wood was not always as quiet as it is now: there are the remains of 25 hut circles many in an excellent state of preservation. Please visit ‘Timelinks’ in Dornoch for more information on local archaeology and history. A distinctive glacial feature called an esker dominates much of the woodland. As well as enjoying the tranquillity of this beautiful wood there is a permanent orienteering course – maps and packs available from the Dornoch forest office. The Fitness Trail lies right next to the car park – there are a series of stations where you can keep yourself fit and try out the various suggested exercises. Children especially enjoy these activities.
