This is a terrific short walk on good marked paths with varied terrain and views. It starts off on an estate road before coming up through the trees to that spectacular barren Highlands heather and ferns. Great views towards the Dee, Lochnagar and the hills to the north before descending back down through the hidden glen of the Felagie.

£2.50 for the car park which also has a notice board and toilets.
