Countesswells Car Park
 

Sections of the trails in Countesswells are closed at the moment due to fallen trees. Please obey all signs for your own safety.

This very popular woodland sees more visitors each year than any other Forestry Commission wood in the district. There are three waymarked walks leading from it. The horse trail has been drained, resurfaced, and covered with thick wood chippings.
