From gentle coastal strolls to challenging treks, there’s no shortage of great scenic walks in the north and north east. Notch up your 10,000 steps and more on these popular walking routes.
To help get you through another week of the summer holidays, we have created a clickable map of walks that make a nice day out for the family. And hopefully lead to a quick go-to-sleep time for late birds!
Here are the destinations on our map in more detail.
Bennachie
One for nature-lovers, the ancient Aberdeenshire landscape around Bennachie is home to red squirrels, roe deer and many species of birds. There’s something here for all ages and abilities. Mither Tap is a challenging hike of steep, rough terrain but with stunning views at the top. For a gentler pace, try the 2.5-mile colony trail or simply enjoy the beautiful forest on the discover trail – don’t forget to pick up crayons for the wildlife rubbing posts.
