Twelve Café Dyce

Highlight • Cafe

Great wee hideaway for a Sunday treat. It’s not signposted and you’ll only see it if you’re there for a train or coming along the cycle path. A wee gem of a place.

The Ellon Viaduct is the old crossing of the Ythan for the Banff and Buchan line that ran from Aberdeen north to Peterhead and Fraserburgh. A good view all along the river and the tarmac surface is accessible for all.

Ellon Castle Gardens

Highlight • Castle

The gardens are beautiful and well maintained, while there is little left of the original castle. The yew trees in the gardens are at least 500 years old! The gardens can be visited, but it's also worth checking out their special events (markets, apple day, outdoor plays, etc). Check out their website elloncastlegardens.net/visit-us

River Don at Dyce

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you’ll pass over the River Don, a tranquil waterway which originates in the Grampian Mountains, specifically in the Peatlands of Aberdeenshire.

It flows eastward through Aberdeenshire, passing through various towns and eventually empties into the North Sea at Aberdeen.
