Walking
Within a few miles of Braemar you have 24 munros (mountains over 3000ft) several corbetts (mountains over 2000ft), forestry walks, and river walks. So whether it’s a gentle stroll or a full day tackling the Cairngorm plateau there is something for everyone.
Gentle walks.
From our front door enter the woods behind and you have gentle walks around Queen's Drive and Lion's Face or up Creag Choinnich for magnificent views over the village and surrounding glens.
Also from the village you have circular walks taking in the River Dee and around Morrone Birkwood – a local nature reserve where seeing the Stags adds to the enjoyment as you walk along the paths through heather and the Scots Pine Trees.
Just 6 miles from the village you have the Linn of Dee. After taking a photo opportunity at the Gorge you can take various paths which take you along Glen Dee, & Glen Luibeg.
