Old Deeside Railway Line

The Old Deeside Railway Line is a magnificent 41-mile stretch of traffic-free walking or cycling, beginning in Duthie Peak, Aberdeen.

The path is a former railway line that carried passengers and goods between Aberdeen and Ballater. These days, it's a fantastic way to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy a long walk in nature.

A good place to go for a walk in Aberdeen away from traffic. Wheelchair accessible and good tarmac surface for several miles. Can be busy with cyclists.

Great walks along the old railway line from Aberdeen to Ballater with great views of the river.While many cyclists share the path responsibly, many don't especially during the rush hours where the old railway line is a useful traffic free route and some seem to want to shave a couple of seconds off their PB during their commute.
