River Don at Dyce

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you’ll pass over the River Don, a tranquil waterway which originates in the Grampian Mountains, specifically in the Peatlands of Aberdeenshire.

It flows eastward through Aberdeenshire, passing through various towns and eventually empties into the North Sea at Aberdeen.

Great wee hideaway for a Sunday treat. It’s not signposted and you’ll only see it if you’re there for a train or coming along the cycle path. A wee gem of a place.
