Parts of the walk are very steep, but the first section from this car park is along a gentle forest track with no steep sections. The woodland is a pleasant mixture of species, with some very tall trees and some areas of grassy/heathery open space.
This car park can also be reached on foot by a pleasant walk from Ballater, following the roadside pavement.
