フェッテレッソの森周辺のおすすめシティハイキング＆ウォーキング

The Carron Fish Bar is not only a typical British fish and chips take-away, but apparently it is the place where back in 1992 the „Deep Fried Mars Bar“ has been invented. Address: 1 Allardice Street, Stonehaven

The local fishermen have built a Christmas tree out of their baskets. Who knows how long it will stand 😉!

Follow the signs at the harbour promenade to Dunnottar Castle - they lead up some (extremely!) steep paved paths to the hills above. Views of Stonehaven from the top are spectacular. Carry on up to a small lay-by/car park, take a right and another 5-10 minute ride down a country lane brings you to the castle itself (on the left) with yet more stunning views. From there, use the singletrack gravel paths (you may have to dismount and hike-a-bike at certain points, depending on your confidence/skill levels) to loop back along the coastline to the aforementioned steep paved paths and down into Stonehaven. Highly recommended!

The boardwalk runs the length of the beach and is an easy and accessible path. At the north end there is the open air pool (summer months only), the campsite, and food. The fish and chip shop is one of the best in the region.

Local woodland popular with dog walkers. There are a few trails and paths to follow through the wood, though nothing way marked. Easiest access is by parking in Stonehaven town centre and walking up to the woods. Those looking for a longer walk can walk through the woods and out the other side - where a country lane can be taken down to Dunnottar, and back to Stonehaven along the coastal path.

This is a really neat spot to relax with a stunning view over the bay and harbor of Stonehaven. There are two benches, so just take your time to enjoy this picture postcard scene.

Stonehaven Beach is a great place to relax and just watch the tides. There are some really nice small restaurants, cafés and an ice cream parlor at the boardwalk. I highly recommend getting some delicious ice cream for your stroll along the coast. It can be pretty windy, though.

The development of the natural harbour dates back to the 17th century when it was used by fishermen and traders. Later on, during the 18th century, Stonehaven was an important hub for importing things like coal and lime and exporting goods like grain, whisky, potatoes and cured fish. The last quarter of the 19th century was especially busy with the fishing of herring with almost two hundred boats. Today, only a few fishing boats remain in Stonehaven for catching prawns, lobster and crabs. Therefore, the harbour's main use is for recreation such as water sports. So take a walk around the scenic Old Pier and relax at the beach. The trail to famous Dunnottar Castle can be accessed from here as well.
