River Dee

Highlight • River

Enjoy some peace and tranquillity as you trail along the serene River Dee. This river rises in the Cairngorms and flows 81 miles through Aberdeenshire and eventually out to the North Sea at Aberdeen.

There are some fantastic views on offer along this stretch of walking, so bring a picnic, take a seat on the banks, and watch the world go by.

Deeside Way — Edge of Aberdeen

Highlight • Cycleway

The Deeside Way traces the former Deeside Railway from Aberdeen to Ballater. You pass old railway stations as you ride the 41-mile (66 km) traffic-free trail through the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside.

The path is shared by walkers and cyclists, so watch your speed. It's not always paved, so expect some mud, especially after rain.
