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 Aboyne to Dinnet 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 Aboyne, adjacent to the gliding strip and in Dinnet and these are listed below. There is a good bus service along the A93 with generally an hourly service.

The Deeside Railway started off in September 1853 when it was opened as a single-track line from Ferryhill in Aberdeen through to Banchory. The extension to Aboyne opened in December 1859 and this remained the terminus until the line was continued to Ballater by the Aboyne and Braemar Railway in 1866.
