Ben Avon is the easternmost of the high Cairngorms. This extraordinary mountain has a vast plateau stretching for miles and dotted with an amazing array of granite tors. One of these forms the summit, requiring a short scramble.

Leabaidh an Daimh Bhuidhe is the Munro summit of Ben Avon, a giant of the Cairngorms National Park. The summit tors make for fun scramble. The best way to reach the foot of the mountain is by mountain bike. We hired bikes in Braemar and cycled in from there.
