Geocache Description:


The Deeside Way largely follows the route of the Old Royal Deeside Railway from Aberdeen to Ballater. The path is suitable for walkers and cyclists with many sections suitable for horses as well. The majority of the route is suitable for child buggies and wheelchairs can access to within a few metres of all caches. Further details on the Deeside Way can be found at www.deesideway.org The route is waymarked using the following logo -

The descriptions for these caches have been written for following the Way from Dinnet to Cambus O May but the Way can be followed in either direction.

These caches have been placed by the kind permission of Dinnet and Kinord Estates. All the caches can be accessed from the Deeside Way and surrounding verges and there is no need to climb over any fences.

It is strongly recommended that you do not park on the A93 which is a busy trunk road. There is good parking in Dinnet and near the suspension bridge at Cambus O May. There is a good bus service along the A93 with generally an hourly service.

A short way past this cache you will come to the old platform of Cambus O May Station. The station building still exists but is now a privately owned residence. Shortly after the station is Cut A Way cottage, another privately owned house which was previously an inn. As you pass note how the building was drastically 'cut away' and reduced in size about 1866 to accommodate the railway line. You will then soon come across the suspension bridge which in 1900 replaced the ferry across the Dee. It is well worthwhile to take a walk across the bridge and in so doing to visit Bexen's cache on the south side of the bridge.
