Parts of the marshland are accessible by mountain bike in winter. In summer and at high tide, the ground is very muddy. In the adjacent woodland, there are a few paths that run along the edge of the marshland. Cycling here is great fun.

A small and narrow bridge over the Nairn, which is a wonderful car-free alternative to the A96 bridge. Warning, not for extremely wide drivers and you have to contend with oncoming traffic 😜.
