Glen Tanar National Nature Reserve

Reviewed By Midhill

Enjoyed a pleasant walk here on a sunny autumn day. Unfortunately the visitor centre was closed but managed to navigate our way around on foot. Climbed to the Knockie viewpoint and walked around the estate. Just the place to blow the cobwebs away and get away from it all

White Wood

The White Wood is a living monument to peace, which will develop over three hundred years. As a site of reflection, it was created by the community of Huntly and artist Caroline Wendling, hosted by local arts organisation Deveron Projects, with stones from France, Scottish soil and oak trees grown from acorns from Joseph Beuys' 7000 Oaks in Kassel. The wood's native trees, shrubs and flowers all display an element of white, the colour of peace.

An incredibly peaceful spot set in a beautiful forest. Planted as a living artwork, this wood has collected many stories over time, and to think it will continue to do so is magical. I would recommend exploring this map to anyone visiting the area.

Reviewed By GaryHMFC - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

Amazing walk. Definitely one of the best in the whole of Aberdeen. If you haven't been here then you are really missing out! The views at the top (from the tower) and awesome!

Cambus O'May Forest

Reviewed By lucyhelliker - Moreton-in-Marsh, United Kingdom

I come every year and still discover new parts of the Cambus o’ May! Am NOT a Walker as such, just with the dog when at home and this place I find just right in terms of interest and ease. It’s also good in the wet because of the tree cover. Have discovered a lovely lake and bridge here too. It’s a fabulous place

Marked paths of different lengths through proper woods. Would be beautiful in good weather I’m sure! It was very wet when we were there but dog loved it none the less!
