The experience
About this day out
Forvie National Nature Reserve covers just under 1,000 hectares of internationally important coastal habitats — sand dunes and dune heath — between the North Sea and the estuary of the River Ythan. It is home to the largest mainland tern and black-headed gull colony in Scotland, and the mouth of the river hosts the largest grey seal haul-out in Scotland. More than 70,000 visitors a year come to Forvie to explore the reserve and watch wildlife.
