This route takes you from the Deeside Way at Dinnet into Glen Tanar. We follow part of the ancient drove road- the ‘Firmounth’- and pass through Dinnet Oakwood. The route consists of a mixture of grass surfaces, crushed stone and unmade road. The route has direction signs to indicate the way and is suitable for walking and cycling. Please take note of any warning and information signs that the Ranger Service and the Estate have displayed. The recommended starting point (and the notes are written for this direction) is from Dinnet and ends near to the Glen Tanar Visitor Centre. It is also possible to follow the route in the other direction. There is a ‘pay and display’ car park clearly signposted at Glen Tanar and the recommended parking at Dinnet is the car park at the crossroads in the centre of the village. These caches have been placed by agreement with Glen Tanar. You are now heading towards the Firmounth Road which is an ancient cattle drovers road linking Glen Esk in Angus with Deeside in Aberdeenshire and reaching a height of 723 metres at Tampie. Dating from around the 13th century it was a busy trade route for a long time but is now the preserve of hillwalkers.
