アバディーンシャーの湖・トップ20

After the smooth gravel on the north side of Glen Avon, you'll encounter more rugged and adventurous trails here. However, as in the rest of the Scottish Highlands, the higher up the climb, the more beautiful the scenery becomes. With a gravel bike or mountain bike, you can enjoy beautiful cycling all the way to Loch Builg, or beyond.

A beautiful small lochan close to Dinnet

In the height of summer this can completely dry up. There’s a boardwalk across the pond to get some better views.

The visitor centre is open daily 10am - 4pm. The impressive dune system is always open. 😉

Some small remote hill lochs and reportedly the spot where an old alder survives in this almost treeless part of the landscape.

you can stay in Dinnet and start a hike from there through Muir of Dinnet, Loch Kinord, Burn o'vat, Campus o may and on to Ballater along Deeside. Highly recommended for bird watching, dragonflies, and a varied landscape - pine forests, lochs, heaths, pear bog and marsh, river side, and glacial geological features :)

I thought I saw on the map that this was a good place to pitch my tent between the lakes, but that is not the case!

Lochnagar is an impressive hill. If going to the White Mounth beyond do not underestimate the walk back out.
