About Kirkhill
Kirkhill is a working forest which really has something for everyone! There are waymarked circular walks, a longer multi-user trail and a mountain bike fun park.
There are great views to the north east from the summit of Tyrebagger Hill at the Tappie Tower. The main entrance is less then 5 miles (7km) from the outskirts of Aberdeen - a real 'green lung' for the city.
Room for all users
This wood is very popular with walkers, horse riders and especially with cyclists. There is room for everyone on the wide forest roads. We ask though that cyclists and horse riders stay off the waymarked footpaths as they will easily be damaged by hooves and wheels. Please leave these for the walkers.
Parking
The main car park is at the south end of the forest, just off the A96 (Aberdeen-bound side) and has spaces for buses and larger vehicles as well as for about 40 cars.
There is a smaller car park for about six cars at the north end of Kirkhill which gives access to the long trail. It is at East Woodlands, on a minor road, but links by trail to Kirkhill.
How to get there:
Kirkhill is in Forests of Moray and Aberdeenshire. Blackburn, Hatton Of Fintray, Dyce, Kintore, Inverurie, Kirkton Of Skene, Garlogie, Westhill, Kingswells, Dyce, Newmachar, Bucksburn, and Aberdeen are the nearest towns or villages.
This wood is on the north side of the A96, between the Dyce roundabout and the Blackburn roundabout.
From Inverurie or Kintore on the A96, Kirkhill is sign posted on your left, approximately 2.5 km after the Blackburn roundabout.
