Royal gravel! And that's how it rides too. Beautiful, hard gravel roads that wind through the stunning forest. I could cycle here for days.

A lovely section through the remains of an ancient Scots pine forest. This would have covered the hills in the past. Look out for deer and red squirrels. Connects Old Invercauld Bridge with Balmoral Castle.
