アバディーンシャーのおすすめライド

とても美味しい料理、フレンドリーなサービス - 全力でおすすめします！ 「the bothy」という名前がピンとこない方へ：スコットランド人が私に説明してくれたのですが、「bothy」とは（ほとんどの場合）山小屋のことで、濡れて疲れてお腹を空かせたハイカーが必要とする、火をおこしたり、料理をしたり、眠ったりするためのものがすべて揃っている場所だそうです。使用後、ハイカーは小屋をきれいな状態に戻し、できる限りのものを補充し、残りはこの仕事に専念しているボランティアが処理します。素晴らしいことです！

Stunning views and a great short walk to the War Memorial.

There's nothing more to see here than a gate. Hidden behind it, of course, is Balmoral Castle, the famous summer residence of the British royal family. With a ticket, we were able to visit it with our bikes in hand, which was really nice.

During our cycling trip through the Cairngorms, we slept in a bothy every night, but we didn't find it anywhere else as comfortable as this one ;-) Delicious coffee and food. Plenty of room for everyone, and with an outdoor shop next door, it's also the perfect place to stock up on rations.

One of Aberdeenshire's iconic climbs. Steep but short!

The visitor centre is quite informative about the local flora and fauna. Car parking spaces have increased greatly with the opening of the parking area nearer the visitor centre. In May 2024, the parking fee was £5 per day payable using various methods at a machine including contactless.

The small car park (of which there is now a charge) is the staring point for may Munros in the area as well as smaller peaks and walks around the loch. Here there is a small visitor centre with toilets. The walk to the loch takes about 10 - 15 minutes and can be made in to a circuit. Those who decide to walk all the way around the loch should allow for 2-3 hours.

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.
