Durris Forest
 

This large forest block has many entrances, some with small car parks, others with access by foot only. There is a waymarked cycle trail, and many people enjoy walking in this forest. A recent programme of thining and felling has opened up views of the surrounding countryside - particularly good views are seen from the top of Cairn-mon-earn and from the forest road which skirts the northeastern edge of the wood.

How to get there:

Durris Forest is part of The Durris Forest. Banchory, Stonehaven, Kirkton Of Durris, and Maryculter are the nearest towns or villages.

Durris Forest lies to the east of the Slug Road, between the River Dee and Stonehaven.
