A neolithic stone circle, just off the route and easily accessible. Old Keig is one of the "recumbent" stone circles found only in the northeast of Scotland and characterised by a large recumbents stone and two upright "flankers" forming part of the circle, usually aligned on the midwinter moon. Old Keig is notable in having the largest, heaviest of all the recumbent stones.

A good spot to stop and enjoy the view over the Howe of Alford before entering the forest. If you cycled up the climb from Tullynessle you may be glad of the chance to stop for a moment or two!

The parish church of Strathdon is a striking cruciform building, very large for a rural parish. It sits on slightly raised ground above the Water of Nochty with fertile agricultural land surrounding it. The church is located within a large, walled graveyard, with a modern cemetery extension to the west. The large former manse stands just to the north. There has been a church on this site since at least 1200, when it was known as Invernochty. A map shows a church here in 1654, which was replaced in the 1660s and then rebuilt again a hundred years later. The present church dates to the mid 19th century and was largely funded by the landed and influential Forbes family. The kirkyard contains a Tardis-like red granite ashlar Egyptian mausoleum of two storeys built for Mary Forbes, wife of Daniel Mitchell.

Here you'll find the sign pointing towards the small hamlet of 'Lost'. The hamlet's distinctive name has often earned it a place on lists featuring unusual place names. Consequently, Lost has become a frequent target for the theft of its street signs. In response, Aberdeenshire Council attempted to rebrand the area as "Lost Farm." Yet, met with robust local resistance, the hamlet's traditional name was quickly reinstated.

This quiet scenic road runs alongside Water of Buchat, a river flowing southeastwards for nearly 10 miles (16 km) through Glen Buchat before joining the River Don near Glenbuchat Castle. It's a beautiful road for cycling, cutting through open landscapes and pine trees.
