デュリスフォレストでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

For running the woodland trails offer some beautiful scenery, and a large loop around the estate. The boardwalk when busy can be harder to pass as it is very narrow.

The Crathes heritage railway ends here. You may be able to spot a parked train this end. You can take steam train rides a bit further down the Deeside Way towards Crathes.

Some great wetland flowers in spring.

A nice spot for a break. Look out for the fish ladder, which supports aquatic wildlife get around the sluice gate.

The raised walkways take you over the boggy sections of the trail, and some more wildlife can be spotted here.

This section of the trail follows the edge of the old reservoir once used for the mill. Trees and wildlife all around.

The best view of the castle is round in front of it, somewhere on the lawn. Good luck getting a photo without anyone in it, as it can be the busy spot. This is also near the walled gardens and the end of the trails.

Great 16th century castle now in the National Trust for Scotland. Interesting guided tours, beautiful gardens and nice tearoom. There’s a great kids play area and a GoApe centre. ** Update 2024 - GoApe now closed permanently ** Weekly Parkrun now also held in the grounds.
