Randolph’s Leap is a tight, rocky gorge where the River Findhorn squeezes through a gap narrow enough to look jumpable — which is where the name comes from. It’s a lovely bit of woodland walking on the Moray–Highland edge, free and open, about 10km south of Forres. The paths can get slippery after rain.
