Description:

The landscape at Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve (NNR) changes almost as you watch. The reserve has the full spectrum of coastal habitats – from constantly moving sand at the edge of the sea to the colourful dune heathland. Seals haul themselves out of the water to watch the world go by, and hungry birds feed on the rich mix of food in the mudflats.

Inland, discover the hidden gem of Morton Loch, a mosaic of wetland and woodland. Here, search for birds, such as the shy teal dabbling at the water’s edge, and the elusive otter.

Whether you want to explore the paths and trails, take a leisurely walk along the beach or lookout for rarities in one of the bird hides, Tentsmuir has it all.
