The Findhorn Hinterland Trust maintains and develops paths in the woods and to and from the dunes, to encourage the safe and respectful use of the land by people while preserving the rich biodiversity found here. During lockdown a labyrinth was constructed by one of our member, for walking meditation and it continues to be well-used.
We offer informative weekly walking tours of the hinterland, and provide a number of facilities for the enjoyment of the community and visitors. Our facilities include a woodland shelter, a fire pit, a outdoor learning space and several wild camping pads. All of these facilities can be booked via our Land Steward.
There is also a pony field, which is currently home to three horses that belong to community members.
The FHT works closely with the Moravian Orienteers. It is our wish that we help make the hinterland available for this sport, while minimising the impact on the land’s important features.
