Millbuies Loch For Great Family Adventures

A brilliant place to relax when visiting Moray is the incredibly beautiful Millbuies loch.

Millbuies is a lovely relaxing place for all the family

I often enjoy going for relaxing walks in scenic areas with my wife and son. The feeling of finding a peaceful spot where you can take in beautiful scenery with your loved ones and feel like you are the only people in the world is unmatched.

Millbuies Loch Has Fantastic Facilities, Great For A Family Day Out

We often venture to Millbuies, a fantastic loch surrounded by beautiful trees for family picnics, barbecues, fishing, or just to escape.

The loch has fantastic facilities which make it a great destination for a family day out. There is a grass area for the kids to play, or for a picnic or a barbecue.

You can take a relaxing stroll around the loch, with your loved ones, kids, friends, or on your own in around an hour. It is a simple, tranquil walk, with a mostly flat, level path with good surfaces.

The total distance of the route, that takes you all the way around the stunning loch and back to where you started, is around 1.5 miles. The circular path allows you to take in so much beautiful scenery, never retracing your steps.

We have had many great strolls and fantastic picnics at Millbuies, soaking in the scenery and enjoying each other’s company, far away from the hardships of everyday life.

You May Even Spot A Pine Martin Amongst The Amazing Millbuies Loch Wildlife

Millbuies is not short of fantastic wildlife either, with red squirrels, roe deer, badgers and rabbits hiding in the trees. If you are really lucky and quiet you might also see pine martin hidden among the rhododendrons and trees. There is also often exquisite looking dragonflies fluttering through the sky.

On the loch itself you might see mallards, tufted ducks, moorhens and swans enjoying a leisurely paddle. Meanwhile, underneath the surface of the loch there is a large amount of rainbow trout, blue trout and brown trout swimming around, making it the perfect spot to hire a boat and go fly-fishing.

There are five boats available for hire at Millbuies, making booking in advance essential (by calling 07960 143 498) as there is no bank fishing allowed on the loch.

With 16 Acres Of Loch To Fish In, No One Is Going To Step On Your Toes

With 16 acres of loch to fish in, no one is ever stepping on anyone’s toes, or getting in anyone’s way, making it an even more relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Millbuies Loch was created by the damming of streams to provide angling facilities on the loch. It was taken over by Moray Council in 1975 and the fishing was extended to members of the public.

20 Minute Drive Away With Free Parking

This beautiful and tranquil loch can be found only a 20 minute drive from your stay at Carden Cottages. There is even a free car park for you to leave your car behind and enjoy being immersed in nature!
