Overview

Crathes Castle is just east of Banchory off the A93. 

This is a relatively flat and circular walk which takes in none other than a wonderful and historical castle setting and the delectable surrounding grounds.

As well as the magnificent 16th century tower house, formal gardens and ancient topiary, the parkland has a number of waymarked trails. The Ley Walk (or Red Squirrel Trail) is the longest, taking in a variety of woodland and parkland.
