Scolty Woodland Park
Scolty Woodland Park forms the eastern end of the long forest of Blackhall. The Park has four waymarked walks as well as lots of small paths. Scolty Wood is managed with the help of the local community, through Scolty Woodland Park Association, and is very popular with local people and visitors alike.
Blackhall:
The Blackhall loop and the Shooting Greens spur are on forest road all the way, so you can really appreciate the views of the Dee Valley to the north and the Feugh to the south.
Durris
Set on a hill overlooking Deeside, Durris offers terrific views, and a gentle route without too many hills. The white trail follows forest roads with wide views north to the Dee Valley.
Fetteresso
Fetteresso and Drumtochty are the biggest forests in the area. Suitable for short cycles or for a whole day.
North Drumtochty
The multi-user route at Drumtochty is way marked white and offers two choices - a loop around Glen Bervie or a straight route through to join the other trails at Fetteresso.
