Slewdrum Forest

Highlight • Forest

Discover this 8.0-km trail loop near Banchory, Aberdeenshire.

The Blackhall Trail Loop is generally considered an easy route, with accessible trails throughout, but with an option to extend your route to visit Scolty Tower.

Also taking in part of 'The Deeside Way' this trail is great for cycling, hiking, trail running, and walking.
