    Mountain biking

    At the top of Carnferg, at 1,673 feet (510 metres), you'll find this stone obelisk. It's a distinctive hill above Aboyne and on a clear day you can see this stone obelisk from some way away! For the very best views, visit in the late summer or early autumn when the heather moor is in full bloom.

    Hiking

    Lochnagar can be spotted on a clear day. There is also a shelter cairn at the top here, which makes a good spot for lunch.

    The summit cairn encryption reads that it was erect in memory of Joseph Robert Heaven of the Forest of Birse by his heartbroken widow.
