Red Walk
 

This popular walk follows forest tracks and paths through open pine forest on higher ground between the Fochabers and Ordiequish Burns. The lower section gives open views back to the village.

How to get there:

Red Walk can be started from Fochabers Burn in Ordiequish which is part of Moray Forests. Fochabers is the nearest town or village.

On foot - From the village, follow the path along the burn side or join it from the track between the tree nursery fields. From the Burnside Caravan Park, cross the Fochabers Burn at the south end of the campsite and climb up the steps.
