Balintore to Rockfield
Balintore
A good linear walk along the coast between the pretty seaboard villages to Rockfield. Along the way there are impressively sculpted rocks along the shore, the remains of salmon fishing stations and cliffs used by nesting seabirds. The walk can easily be extended by 1.5 km to end in Portmahomack from where a bus can be caught to return to the start (check the timetable before starting out).
Terrain - Grassy track following the shore, usually easy to find with only a couple of muddy spots.
Grade 1
Distance 8.5km (5.3 miles)
Ascent 120m (394ft)
