Logie Steading and Findhorn River Walk
This walk takes you along a section of the Findhorn River in Darnaway Forest near Forres, Moray.
You'll pass through the beautiful Findhorn Gorge where you can enjoy peaceful woodland trails and fine views.
The route also runs past the Logie Steading estate where you can visit the garden centre and cafe.
At the southern end you will reach Randolph's Leap, a photogenic spot with dramatic rocks, cliffs and waterfalls.
You can start the walk from the car park near the Mains of Sluie, just off the A940. From here you can pick up the Sluie Walk and follow it west to the riverside. Follow the paths south and they will take you past the Logie Estate to the Bridge of Logie. Just south of here you will come to Randolph's Leap, a real highlight on the river.
On the opposite side of the river there's a nice circular trail to try from the Dun Earn car park.

Randolph's Leap, Findhorn Gorge. The area surrounds the River Findhorn and is actually named after the point at the river where the sheer rock banks are closest, where according to legend Thomas Randolph, later Earl of Moray, was pursuing a Comyn, who leaped to the other side and escaped back to his castle.
