The Deeside Way traces the former Deeside Railway from Aberdeen to Ballater. You pass old railway stations as you ride the 41-mile (66 km) traffic-free trail through the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside.

The path is shared by walkers and cyclists, so watch your speed. It's not always paved, so expect some mud, especially after rain.

The old Deeside Railway line, now open to the public as a walking/cycling path.

Cycling

From Aberdeen out, the Deeside way has been laid to tarmac and makes a good surface for a road bike, or taking children out for a cycle. It can be very popular so speeds will be lower on a bike than perhaps expected.
