Aberdeen Woods
 

The six woodlands which collectively make up the Aberdeen Woods encircle the City of Aberdeen and provide opportunities for excercise and recreation away from the stress of the city streets. Each wood has its own individual character, and is keenly supported by its own 'locals'!

Dogs

We are happy that people walk their dogs in the Aberdeen Woods, but dogs must be kept under control all the time. For the sake of the wildlife in the woods and the other people who use them, please keep your dog under control and do not allow it to foul the paths.

How to get there:

Aberdeen, Dyce, Kintore, Inverurie, Westhill, Peterculter, Milltimber, Bieldside, Cults, Kingswells, Potterton, Bridge of Don, and Bucksburn are the nearest towns or villages.

Various woods within Aberdeen City boundary on the outskirts of Aberdeen. See individual woods for more detailed directions.
