 The
spectacular countryside around Braemar has much to offer walkers
of all abilities and interests, from the high mountains beyond,
to the very attractive network of low-level paths and tracks
in and around the village.
A booklet is available called 'Short Walks & Cycle Routes
Around Braemar' for those looking for a short rewarding walk
of between 11/2 - 4 hours, five easy to find circular walks
of varying length and difficulty are described, all starting
and finishing in Braemar - so you won't even need your car!
Each colour-coded route has a map and route description, and
is graded in terms of difficulty. Times given include the
return to the start point. All the routes are marked on the
ground with coloured way markers, signs or cairns to help
you find your way.
Useful information about walking routes in the area,
including downloadable maps, can be obtained by visiting the
Cairngorms Outdoor Access Trust's web site at
www.cairngormsoutdooraccess.org.uk
Further information is also available from the
Eastern Cairngorms Visitor Information website at
www.visitcairngorms.com .

The Country Code
You are a welcome visitor to Deeside and can help
to protect the countryside and minimise your impact
in a number of ways. The livelihoods of many people
are dependent upon the land management activities
of the various estates around Braemar, and in
some areas both wild plants and animals can be
easily damaged or disturbed.
Please:
o Fasten all gates
o Take your litter home
o Keep dogs under close control
o Park away from gates and tracks
o Guard against all risk of fire
o Be courteous to other users
o Keep to way-marked paths
