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.

The extended parkland which includes a golf course is a great place to get out of the city for a run. There is a Parkrun every Saturday morning at 9:30 if you want some company or competition but outside of that the trails are here all year.
