드럼토치 숲 최고의 라이딩 경로

Nice spot for a breather and a photo

Local Shop in AUCHENBLAE provides a great option for food if the cafe is shut. Friendly welcoming place with coffee machine ☕

The River North Esk can be viewed from the B966 bridge. It's worth stopping just east of the bridge and going through the blue door in the wall. From here you can get down into the river gorge or walk along the bank higher up.

Lovely quiet road that passes through Paldyfair Wood

If you continue 1km further wast on the road you will reach the gothic style Episcopal church which is part of the Drumtochty estate grounds.

If you plan on heading North over the Cairn o Mount and further inland this is the last refuse stop for supplies for a while with some exposed and very steep paved terrain and even more ascent off road. If heading South from the Cairn O Mount descent the Clattering Brig is the last supply stop before Laurencekirk with railway access, and Fettercairn.

There’s parking here for 5 cars to begin the walk towards the Rocks of Solitude. A board displays a map of the route.

Follow the R. Esk from Edzell, all the way past Dalbog, Auchmull, Tarfside, Auchronie to Loch Lee. It is a nice gentle climb, only rising to 250m.
