With miles of North Sea beaches, rolling countryside and vibrant forests, cycling through Aberdeen’s glorious surroundings is the best way to explore the area. Thanks to the rivers, castles and medieval churches, riding through this landscape feels a little magical. A disused railway creates the perfect riverside bike adventure for families whilst those looking for challenging adventures can ride out into the undulating hills to find panoramic views.
