Cullen Bay (Time: approx. 1 1/2 hrs)
| (This is a circular walk,
which includes the cliff tops near Portknockie and
Cullen Beach.) From the Square, walk up Grant
Street, turn second right into North Deskford Street
and continue down to the end. Just before the steps
there is a tarred incline up onto the pathway -
which used to be the old railway line. Go up here
then turn left and walk along to the old eight-arch
railway viaduct. From here you have a wonderful view
across the bay to the hills of Caithness and
Sutherland. You may see dolphins at play in Cullen
Bay. Watch out for other wildlife as you walk along. Follow the path along past Cullen Golf Course - on your right - for about three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) until you reach a bridge over the path. Take the path upwards to the right then go with the left fork along the clifftop until you reach a seat near some steps that lead downwards to the shore. As you descend, look to the left, where a slanted arched rock formation - the Whale's Mouth - can be seen. Travel on along the seaside path. You will then pass Jenny's Well, where clear fresh water still flows, and wild flowers abound. Soon after passing Preacher's Cave you arrive at Cullen's popular sandy beach. Enjoy your walk along here, passing the group of rocks known as the Three Kings, and then the Golf Clubhouse. From there, walk forward over the small bridge spanning the Cullen Burn, continuing through the historic Seatown and then up to Cullen Square. Good walking shoes are recommended. |
