Transport

Dance North is committed to minimising the impact of our activities on the environment. We encourage any visitors to use transport which has a smaller environmental impact such as trains and car-sharing where possible. We are happy to advise on convenient and lower cost travel options and assist with lift share possibilities.

In partnership with the Park Ecovillage Trust (PET) a service has been set up so residents and visitors can offset the carbon emissions created by their travelling to and from Findhorn as well as other lifestyle and business carbon emissions. Click here to find out more.
